Analysing USB traffic with USBPcap and wireshark

In order to trouble should the concept 2 CSafe libraries I needed to see the bytes traveling across the wire on the USB bus. To do this I, I used USBPcap.

The need to look at the bytes being sent over the USB bus became necessary when I was working with the CSafe libraries from concept2.

The USBPcap programm can be download here:

(Watch the installation. If you change the default directory and don't watchout it won't add back a application directory for itself. When you try to deinstall it, it will delete the whole directory!)

The USBPcapCMD application runs as a command line programm. One of the things it will ask you for is a output file name. If you name this with a ".pcap" extension and you've installed wireshark (Version 1.10.5), you'll be able to open the file with wireshark and look at very comfortably.
