The Carnivore Server is a surveillance tool, invented by Alex Galloway and the Radical Software Group, that monitors all traffic on the network on which it is run. In the Summer of 2003, I became the first official intern of the RSG. In this capacity, I created a Flash template for Carnivore Clients, and contributed to the completion of the OS X version of the Carnivore Server, which uses the Packet Capture Library (pcap) to monitor all traffic on the network on which it is run, and then sends this information to all connected clients. In the process, I learned about Interprocess Communications, including socket connections.
