 |
|
Hi all,
I would like to log my whole lan/internet traffic for an hour or two.
Is the follows ok?
| Code: |
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG -log-prefix "INPUT packs"
iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG -log-prefix "FORWARD packs"
iptables -A OUTPUT -j LOG -log-prefix "OUTPUT packs"
|
Or is there an other (ease) way.
Please beware me to say there comes too much data.
I have only an ISDN terminal adapter(ppp0) with 64kbit so my HD should be able to take all information without run out of memory. 
Regards
Lars

| You can use tcpdump, which just captures all the traffic and dumps it to stdout, which you can redirect to a file. I don't know the specifics of how to use it, you'll have to check the man page. |
