Summary     : A free ethernet protocol analyzer / sniffer
Description :
K.ARP.SKI (karpski) is an ethernet protocol analyzer / sniffer.  Its
abilities as a sniffer or scanner are limited, but this sniffer is much
easier to use than other popular sniffers such as tcpdump.  In addition,
there is a protocol definition file in which other protocols can be added.
Karpski may also be used to launch programs against addresses on your local
network and as a local network intrusion tool.  Plus, it's free with source.

Its display is an Xwindow display.  This was a design decision based on my
need to display many windows simultaneously.  Console mode would just not
cut it.  I chose the Gtk display library because it's proven, portable and
free.  You may not like my choice; the source is included.

This program was originally based on my desire to detect someone plugging an
unauthorized computer into a LAN.  It did this originally by looking at ARP
packets.  This is where the arp in karpski comes from.
