Stream URL Sniffer / URL Finder for Linux


 
I am using fedora 10. Is there any url sniffer available for Linux?

Many URL Finders for Windows use WinPCap. It seems that libpcap is used in Linux instead. libpcap is a system-independent interface for user-level packet capture. libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network monitoring. There should be at least applications using libpcap that can find stream URLs.

Haven't tried any URL Sniffers / URL Finder for Linux yet, so I don't really know whether there is something as handy as URL Snooper for Windows. Please let us know if you find anything.

p.s.
I'm still using streaming media recorders for Windows. I run them either with Wine emulator or on a virtual machine with Windows XP.

I try to look at the source of the page first searching for "flv", "flash", "mp4" and other keywords. If this didn't help, I either use ngrep or Wireshark. It depends on the site. Most sites luckily store their links in a XML file so it's just a matter of getting the URL. This is the command that filters all GET and POST requests:

Code:

ngrep -lqi -p -W none ^get\|^post tcp dst port 80

There's a new url sniffer tool hosted on sourceforge called MediaSniffer can be used on Linux.
It looks like it can only find HTTP url,not sure about it.
