determine network packet structure

There is an old program a member of this online community made for everyone to use, but he is no longer around and no longer supports it. I wanted to help the community by extending it's features somewhat. To do that, I need to know how data is sent from it. How can I capture the network traffic it sends, and determine what it's sending?

WireShark is your friend. Available for UNIX and Windows.

Wireshark is a network packet analyzer. A network packet analyzer will try to capture network packets and tries to display that packet data as detailed as possible.

Wireshark User's Guide

@Kerrek SB's Tip: use tcpdump -s0 -w /tmp/data -i eth3 or so to create the dump file, and analyze it with Wireshark later as an unprivileged user.
