VB.NET http spyingI am suspicious of the websites that the people I live with are using
my computer for. Instead of buying software or downloading something visible to other users, I am wanting to create a vb program that "watches" what websites are visited. Since I have a background in vb, I see this to be easier. There are different accounts on the computer which I can access, I am thinking I will set this program up to start in the background and write to a file the urls that are visited. I know that they are clearing out the temporary internet files and clearing the history of their browsers as well. Is there a way in .NET to listen to http ports and then have the ability to write either the URL or IP to a file? Any help is appreciated. Thanks You don't need VB to do this. Assuming you are all on the same network and
you don't have any switches in the way, you can use something like Ethereal to "sniff" the packets as they pass through. I am of course making many assumptions about your setup. By the way, you do know it's incredibly rude to behave in such a paranoid and sneaky way, don't you? If you were living in my house I would slap you around for even thinking about doing this.

using this information against them later on if I find something funny. Be lucky you aren't my roommate I guess. If you're concerned that users of your computer are browsing to
inappropriate site, install a program that blocks the sites you don't want them to see. I presume that you are concerned for your children or other family members? If the user is over 18, then I agree with Robin in that it would be rude to tell them what they can or cannot browse. skOOb33 wrote:
