Hi

you may want to install ethereal on that box. Ethereal allows you to
basically do a tcpdump on the NIC. You can even filter the type of traffic
you're looking for.
It's a free app, and has proven to be very useful

Good luck

Jude

Subject: Slickest way to capture all packets inbound and outbound for a

I'm curious what the best way would be to capture all packets inbound or
outbound for a specific IP address or range of IP addresses would be?  The
scenario would be this ..

I suspect an IP address of being involved in an intrusion into an
application on my network.  The relevant system has been patched, but I
would still like to capture the full packets for any inbound and outbound
activity for that IP address on a machine outside of my firewall.

Would Snort be a good way to do this, or is there a quicker/slimmer
solution?

Thanks!

Mark
