Re: capturing before/after firewall in Linux

Hi,

I think you should look into ulogd. ulogd is a userspace logging daemon for netfilter/iptables related logging. (http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html). Using the ulogd_output_PCAP.so plugin you can have it write pcap files.

Thanks,
Jaap

Hello,

I run Wireshark in Ubuntu 12.04.1 64b

If I see it correct - wireshark shows all incoming packet - even these, which are dropped by firewall (iptables).

1. is this so ?

2. by outgoing packets I expect it will be reversed: wireshark will not show packets dropped by FW  ?

[in other words: wireshark is bite between FW and NIC driver ?]

3. Is there a way to show in Wireshark ALL in/out packets AND mark (colorize) packets which are/will-be dropped by FW ?

[Wireshark would have to monitor also packets between FW and higher layer of system]

Thanks --kapetr
