# pcapmirror
|
||||
|
||||
pcapmirror is a command-line tool for capturing network traffic and mirroring it to a remote destination using TZSP encapsulation. It leverages the `libpcap` library for packet capture and provides options for filtering traffic based on BPF syntax. This tool is useful for network monitoring, intrusion detection, and remote packet analysis.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pcapmirror [options]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Options:
|
||||
|
||||
-i <interface>: Specify the capture interface (e.g., eth0).
|
||||
-f <filter>: Specify the capture filter in BPF syntax (e.g., tcp port 80).
|
||||
-v: Enable verbose mode (prints packet information).
|
||||
-h: Show this help message.
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
To capture traffic on the eth0 interface, filter for TCP port 80, and send it to the destination, use the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo pcapmirror -i eth0 -f "tcp port 80" -v
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Running pcapmirror typically requires root privileges due to the use of libpcap for capturing network traffic.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compile and Install
|
||||
|
||||
Compile the program:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Install the program:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will copy the pcapmirror executable to bin. You may need to adjust the PREFIX variable in the Makefile if you want to install it to a different location.
|
||||
|
||||
Dependencies
|
||||
libpcap: You need to have libpcap installed on your system. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you can install it using:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
On Fedora/CentOS/RHEL systems, you can install it using:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo yum install libpcap-devel
|
||||
```
