Hello,
 Thanks for the quick reply, I want to get these packets out from the USB
bus,
And I am happy about your remark that I can do it :-)

I used the USBSnoop and saw it decoding the URBs, But In order to use it I
believe
I have to modify it code (probably at the driver level) to capture the raw
packets to port them
to WireShark.

Instead Can I use the Libusb-win32 API, without modifying it, to get these
packets? Then I can work on the user level rather than at the Kernel level
to convert it to the format that,
WireShark can Understand.

Thanks

Best regards
