    Sniffing a trading software
    Hi. I have a free software application that gets quotes from a website. I have seen what it is accessing. I have the destination port and destination ip address using packet sniffers. I just need to know how to get the data out of a packet that it is receiving so that I can make my own application that can get quotes from that web site. Can any one elp me out. I desperately need it.

    Is the program you're trying to emulate open source or just freeware? If it's open source just look at the source code to see how they do it.

    Also, you should review the terms of service of the site you are trying to get quotes from. It is possible that using a program like the one you describe may be a violation of these terms.

    If it's just getting data from a website just write a program to go to the website and extract the data. What is the question?

    Also check the license of the software you are using. It may prohibit the "hacking" you are attempting.
