No Web Server - Just Logs

[Sasquash]

I'm looking for a way to log incoming packets of all kinds.

I'm not running a web server, I just want a log for all incoming packets.

I'd also like one for outgoing packets, but that's less important.

I'm sure one comes with Linux.

I'm running Mandrake 8.2.

Thanks all.

ok, so you want to see those packets. yes there is something. tcpdump

if you have tcpdump then you can su and type this.

bash$ /usr/sbin/tcpdump

type that in and watch the show.

if you realy want something to log those files then i would go with snort. it's a good packet sniffer.

visit the site.

http://snort.org

make sure that you read everything. then you can go to freshmeat.net and look for a log viewer.

see ya,
