Sniffer - A simple serial port sniffing/terminal program

Latest News: Sniffer10 is now available and a Mac OSX version is also now available.

See below for the list of new features.

Description:

Sniffer was created from the need to decode serial data streams used by Broadcast and AV equipment. Much of this equipment is programmed using RS232 or RS422 codes and the protocols are not always well published. Hence the need to "sniff" and decode them. Sniffer has the ability to send both ASCII and Hex data either separately or mixed in the same string. RTS and DTR can be individually set as well as monitoring the status of the remaining data lines. It also supports capturing the stream to file for later analysis.

This program was developed for my own needs therefore it may not be suitable for your requirements.

It is available for Linux, Mac and Windows.

Downloads:

This software is provided "AS IS" with NO WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING LIABILITY OR WARRANTIES RELATING TO FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

The program is supplied as a statically compiled program. This means it is a bit larger but no other files are needed and it doesn't need to be "installed". It can be run from a CD or a USB drive.

Donations:

Although the software is free, any donations will be gratefully accepted and appreciated. It all helps to keep the servers running.

Feedback:

Any positive constructive feedback is always welcome. Drop me a note at 'sniffer' at this web site.
