I advise that you pick a language first, and worry about library support later. I've used various libpcap tools in Perl, Python and Ruby, and they all suck a little (notably, most lack support for pcap_dumper()). Also, I wrote my own pcap handler in Python, and it was very straightforward (attached, for reference, though this only deals with files and not live captures). -Josh Adrian Crenshaw wrote:
Ok, I'm about to start a holy war. :) I've been asked to write something about coding scripts to parse Pcap files. All sorts of languages have libraries for doing this: Ruby, Perl, Python, Autoit, etc. Which one do you think is the most readable/easiest?
