Streamsniff is a command line tool that sniffs network traffic for stream url's. I built it because I got tired chasing stream urls hidden behind loads of html and javascript.

Run it as root, fire up your browser and start the stream you want to "expose". Streamsniff detects the initiation of rtsp, mms, icy and http streams, and performs a backtrace on http traffic to detect "playlist"-url's (stream metafiles).

Sample output showing ICY, RTSP and MMS url's and their playlist url's:

ICY : http://212.92.28.98:2002/
: http://real1.radio.hu/BartokG2.ram

RTSP: rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk:554/farm/*/ev7/live24/6music/live/6music_dsat_g2.ra
: http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/ram/dsatg2.ram

MMS : mms://wm05.nm.cbc.ca/cbcr2-toronto
: http://origin.www.cbc.ca/mrl2/livemedia/cbcr2-toronto.asx

Streamsniff is experimental. It runs on little-endian (Intel/AMD), Linux and Windows XP SP2. I want to be less specific about the platform. Help with ports (big-endian, FreeBSD) is appreciated.

Detects:

MMS
RTSP
ICY
HTTP (with Content-Type: audio.. , video.. , ..wms-hdr..)
