Re: Auditing / Logging

["Don Parker" <dparker () rigelksecurity com>]

I would suggest the following bpf filter;

tcpdump -i eth0 -nXvs 0 ip and host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -w some_file

This way you will get verbose logging as well as both hex and ascii o/p

Be sure to set the -s option ("snaplen") to zero so that you capture
all of the activity. Many people forget this and only capture the
headers a few bytes of the payload itself. Under Linux and a stock
ethernet card, you'd want:

tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -n -w dumpfile.pcap 

If you are doing this on a gateway, you may want to specify some
filters so that only your attack network is captured. e.g. if my
attack network is 200.100.50.0/24, 

tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -n -w dumpfile.pcap net 200.100.50.0/24
