After my initial attempt to do some packet sniffing was unsuccessful I decided to make a bit of a project of it. I built a simple passive ethernet TAP from the instructions at: http://www.snort.org/docs/tap/ Unfortunately, I still haven't got any more info. I put the TAP between my Linksys (Vonage-enabled) router and my cable modem and set up my laptop so it would have a static IP on the same network as my external IP (netmask 255.255.254.0 in my case). I started up ethereal and didn't capture a single packet from either TAP port. Has anyone ever used one of these homebuilt TAPs before? Am I using it correctly? -Tim -- Tim Wilson, The Savvy Technologist Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Educational technology guy, Linux and OS X fan, Grad. student, Daddy mailto: wilson at visi.com aim: tis270 blog and podcast: http:// technosavvy.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
