Is there any way to capture and analyze packets with windows phone 7? For example can i use sharppcap or pcap.net in order to develop an application which capture packets? Thanks.

Packets capture requires low-level access to network drivers. There's no such thing for Windows Phone, you can only use sockets you opened yourself.

  • Why not, windows phone does have wifi, so it is probable that packets can be captured. –  Apr 13 '12 at 11:54
  • You can make an app on a computer to capture phone's packets over wifi. But a Windows Phone app can't do that. – Kevin Gosse Apr 13 '12 at 11:59
  • Just because the drivers are not there. So makes sense. Probably you are right. –  Apr 13 '12 at 12:03
  • Not because the drivers aren't there, but because you have no access to them. A Windows Phone app has very limited interaction with the system. – Kevin Gosse Apr 13 '12 at 12:07
  • Oh, my bad....so stupid to say that drivers are not there. Yes, yes...that is what I wanted to say, lesser interaction...Anyway... cheers :) –  Apr 13 '12 at 12:08
