Did I read you right?  "Build"?  :-)

What's wrong with Ethereal or K.Arp.Ski?  But close the door behind
you when you run them; the passwords :-( and connections from profs'
offices to pr0n sites :-) fly thick and fast.  Don't violate people's
privacy more than you have to.

BTW, poke around in the docs.  Ethereal groks Gnutella at least.  So
there's probably a port-to-service map file lying around somewheres.

Of course there's always the "turn it _all_ off at the router, and
don't turn it on again until a bucho at _least_ screams" BOFH
approach.
