Subject: [9fans] charon / tcp pasthrough sniffing
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 17:01:29 +0100

I'm trying to defeat all the shenanigans on www.genie.co.uk in order
to send sms messages without having to use the website

they use some tricky techniques to prevent scripting such as a random
redirected url and 6 cookies!

I thought I'd worked it out but no.

I'm about to sniff the tcp to see what exactly the browser sends to
the site so I can script it

Is there some general purpose tcp sniffing technique I can adopt with
the clever use of cat /net/tcp/N/data or something?

I tried a tcp passthrough last time I worked on this but never got it
working!

any help out there?

TIA Matt
