You need to use some JNI code or library if you wish to do packet sniffing in JAVA.

Easiest is use - Jpcap
Check http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/jpcap/doc/index.html

BTW, it sounds like it might take a lot of work to write a packet sniffer and I'm fairly sure that no one is just going to hand you over code to do this behavior.

I think what jwenting is hinting at.... is do some work and effort. Then maybe we will show some more enthusiasm in helping you.

And yes it does have to do with your requirements, since you will not be able to do anything in the network without this package. He is simple not just handing you a finished product that you can copy without doing anything yourself.
