storing packets

[Gaccm]

does anyone know a way to store packets that are sent thru my linux box (and does anyone know what the real name for this is?)

im not sure what you mean by "store" the packets... might wanna check into libpcap :D

What you use would probably depend on exactly what your trying to do. For the short term you could just "tcpdump [ethx]>/tmp/foo". For something more involved I would probably start researching sniffers.
