Author: Apple Computer, Inc.
Subject: Snarfer
Equipment: Macintosh
Summary: The Snarfer is an application that directs whatever Macintosh it
is running on to examine each AppleTalk packet it is about to write to
the network. If it meets operator-defined criteria, the packet can be
altered and controlled in a variety of ways.
Features: oPackets can have their size changed, data altered, protocol
parameters changed, or their transmission delayed or repeated.
oThe user-defined criteria currently includes matching such traits for
the AppleTalk Protocols: ASP, ATP, ADSP, DDP, LLAP, NBP, and PAP.
oA distribution scenario can be set up to introduce random and selective
snarfing of packets.
oFiles can be saved to hold the user-defined critieria and actions that
users create.
oThe Snarfer can run on Internet Routers and handle multiple ports.
Requires: Any Macintosh (starting from Mac Plus) running system 6.0 or
later.
Issues: The Snarfer is currently being considered for a patent filed by
Apple. So far, it is a low priority patent.
