          Yes it is possible,



          If you know a unique string specifically that application or clients using that application includes it to communication packets.



          But if it is encrypted, you probably can not.

          • Thank you ibrahim. Do you know where can I find a list of these unique strings? any thing like snort rules....

          • I don't think there is such list. Why dont you use snort instead?

          • I don't know much about snort but do you think Snort can identify the applications?or it can just identify the attacks?

          • Snort inspecting network packets like iptables do. So if you can write a snort rule for the application you want to detect, you can identify.
