Happy New Years!
In celebration of the New Year’s, I’ve got a special treat for both of you readers out there.
A preview of CrystalBall. It is named CrystallBall because it allows the user to see images that are passing through the ether. Yeah, corny as all hell. That’s why they don’t usually let us programmers name the programs.
OK, really.. it is basically a packet sniffer that reassembles packets, and if a stream contains a picture that the program can decode, it decodes it and displays it. Basically it is a Windows version of Etherpeg or Driftnet (not that I have used either one, I’m just guessing here).
This version is very unfinished. The “desktop” and “fullscreen” options don’t work. Lots of other things probably don’t work either. And it could do bad things (it shouldn’t). It comes with no warranty. Use at your own risk.
You’ll also need to download WinPcap in order to use it. You only need the auto-installer, unless you want to do your own development.
