How to detect connections of an executing app?

Hi guys,

I need to test some tasks for myself and one of them is this:

- the app's .exe name is pre-coded
- my code checks if it's running... if NOT try again
- if yes, retrieve a list of all connections (source and target) including ports

It would be a console app, I just want it to show each connection from that process.
minding: source and target, including ports

Thanks a lot!

Ok... what OS, which language... what have you tried already... (posting code would be good)

No, no, no, no. He wants to make a standard c program, that way it can be portable.
:rolleyes::tongue:

If the OS gives me full freedom to use the "in" and "out" instructions, using x86, I could do it in an OS portable way... :D

EDIT: Ops, I thought he meant hardware ports! :D:p

sorry not to explain very well...
My app has another app as a target. When the terget is executing, my app would check any internet connection from the target.
I don't know HOW to make my app "see" those connections with details, like IP addresses and ports.
Windows OS of course (that's why I posted here).

when I say "detailed" info, i mean something like "netstat -n"

anyone?
:(

Have a look at the ipstat sample from the windows sdk.

wasn't sooooooo helpful but that's ok, thanks... :)
