The biggest problem that it seems to suffer from is that you can't display the results of your sniffing in realtime, like you can with Netmon or Ethereal when you're sniffing network packets, but even having to stop my captures, within a couple of minutes I had the all-important USB sVID/PID strings. especially if Tektronix want to give me an analyser to write about -)

Alternative options for future projects, happily received. Not having a suitable Tektronix protocol analysers lying around the place (as he used to), I went looking for something a little more modest.Ī little searching led me to an open source project called USB Sniffer for Windows, otherwise apparently known as SnoopyPro. When in doubt, Analyse, as one of my good friends used to say to me. Not having the original driver disks, it was obviously not going to be as simple as just watching what goes over the wire and blindly repeating it, and spending a few minutes searching for USB Hamster drivers for XP, or Vista came up blank. On this occasion, I decided that I really would have give it a good go, so where to begin? I would also point out that I've never really done much with USB in the past. I took a brief look at the time, and then went back to something more interesting (I think it was MVC1). She originally gave it to me to look at yonks ago, when she was running on Vista - it was a present to her from someone or other, and the original drivers were long lost, and had only worked on XP anyway.

After a slight falling out, nothing says 'make-up' better than finally getting around to making your girlfriend's USB Hamster function with her new portable.
