I want to monitor network activity on a computer and convert the network activity to sound using Max/MSP. I have no idea how to get network monitoring information into Max/MSP. I tried using udprecieve or that kind of objects, but they all do not work on port 80 (convert your browsing activities into sounds).

Does anybody has any insights in how to do this?

You want some sort of packet sniffer. Someone, Vade, I think, has

Thanks. I just found it before your post :D. Never the less thanks for your reply.

When we did our network-activity-to-sound project (

codes.com), I used Perl for network sniffing, and pumped the packets 

into PD for the initial audio signals (for reasons which escape me) 

and then into MaxMSP on a second machine. It depends on how literally 

you want the actual digital audio to represent the network data; if 

you want to use it as control rather than audio, you could knock up a
