Get Form Data over Network

Question

I want to make a program that will get form data. So whenever anybody on a local network submits form data to a website, I would like to see that data being submited. Is this possible? If it is, is it possible in python? Thank you.

Wait. Do you mean you want a programs that spies on people on your local network? — Nick Bailey, Mar 07 '15 at 16:52

If I'm understanding your requirements correctly, you want to listen for packets on the local network and filter out everything but POST (which would be submitting form data). If I were you, I would look into wireshark, capture all the packets, filter out all that aren't POST to the specific website.

Wireshark has a Python API, and you may find this stackoverflow question of interest.

Hope I helped a little.

You may want to look at mitmproxy as it is easy to setup and may address your core needs. Bonus, it's pretty easy to set up across devices.
