Hi,
I need to sniff packets traveling through my computer... I just need to see header data, GET, POST data and so on.. what software do you recomend? It would be great if it was free.

Thanks!

Use Firefox and http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ or there may be a header sniffer in Firebug which is very handy anyway.

Ireally like webscarab. It gets set up as a proxy and you can modify headers on each request.
