Although I haven't tried it out, libnet (http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet/) looks like it can dissect ARP (along with a bunch of other protocols). Hope this helps, Richard - As does libtrace: http://research.wand.net.nz/software/libtrace.php -- Ian McDonald Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4 Blog: http://imcdnzl.blogspot.com WAND Network Research Group Department of Computer Science University of Waikato New Zealand - This is the tcpdump-workers list.

Basically I am looking for this information: Operation code, Sender HW address, Sender Protocol address, Destination HW address and Destination Protocol address. Is there a direct way using pcap to get that information. You can use libpcap to get the raw contents of packets, including ARP/ RARP packets. You can't use libpcap to dissect ARP/RARP packets - or any other type of packets; it doesn't include any code to dissect packets. You either have to write your own code to dissect them, or use some existing code to dissect them (for example, you could copy the code in tcpdump and modify it as necessary). - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
