URL Snooper

Some links to streaming audio and video content on the web are concealed by ActiveX scripts or Java scripts. In order to identify them, you can use URL Snooper, an easy to use application designed to help you easily detect the URLs that correspond to an online audio or video stream.

URL Snooper uses WinPcap, a driver that allows the capturing and filtering of URLs. Thus, during the installation process, the program offers to download this driver – a step that you can skip if you already have it on your computer.

When starting the application for the first time, it tries to automatically detect which network adapter driver works best with your Internet connection. You can also do this manually in advanced mode.

This software provides users with an easy to use interface, which permits the user to switch between advanced and simple mode. Consequently, whether you are a beginner or a professional, you can use this program with ease.

When you play an audio or video stream in your browser, the program attempts to find the hidden URL. It displays a list of all the detected URLs, their protocol and the corresponding IP address. If you are looking for something specific among the results, you can filter your search by protocol or a keyword.

When selecting a URL, the link is automatically highlighted, so you can identify it better. Moreover, if you are interested in a certain URL, you can save it to a TXT file, copy it to the clipboard, as well as open it in the default web browser or add it to the favorite website list.

The options offer you the possibility to set custom items to appear in the context menu of the URL results, thus enabling you to easily access third party applications.

URL Snooper is a simple, yet useful application that allows you to figure out the actual URLs that correspond to the streams being played.
