Old spies revisited
The Tee
With the same strategy as inserting tee in a shell pipeline one
can track the 9P data stream between server and kernel.
Our programm, spy, receives the 9P messages from the kernel,
displays them for modification and sends the resulting messages
to the intended server. In the same way spy transmits the 9P
replies of the server. Data spied out in this manner can be used
in many different ways.
The entire approach is transparent to both, the client and the
server. spy is mounted onto the dormant server connection and
offers its own connection to the client instead. The client
believes it is mounting the server, when, in fact, it is
connecting to spy. The server views spy as its client.
Spy
Spy realizes a tee in form of a 9P information flow inspector.
It displays the flow of the 9P messages between server and client
in a graphic representation. The user is able to specify in a
filter language, which 9P messages should be observed. It is
possible to watch seperatly each request and reply message or to
set watch points on the arrival of dedicated messages. Moreover
it is possible to modify each message or pass own messages into
the 9P data stream.
A graphical user interface helps the user with the modifications.

Nice program but where is the source? spy.tar only has binaries.
