Yes, that's what is supposed to happen. Why would you expect anything different? And in
particular, why do you think opening a second connection on a port, even if it were
possible, would deliver you a copy of the incoming data? There's no way that could
possibly make sense. That makes as much sense as opening a file and seeing the data that
other programs read as they read it.

You need a filter driver; as far as I know, that's what portmon and similar programs do.
