Aps is a small tool for analyzing network traffic. It prints out a great deal of information about the relevant protocols including TCP, UDP, ARP, and ICMP.

It allows you to filter IP addresses, hardware addresses, ports, and specific protocols. It comes with a little GTK-GUI displaying packet counters for each protocol.

APS tries to print detailed info about network frames that are received from the SOCK_RAW (ETH_P_ALL) socket. I am not sure if this is the clean way, but it works fine. APS prints info about the hardware layer and the IP and TCP/UDP/ICMP header.

The tail of the packet (mostly the data) wich could not be interpreted is written on the screen as ascii/hex-dump or both (your choice).
