gg_sniff - glouglou probe client for network activity WARNING: Work in progress, don't expect this to work ! Requirements ============ * libglouglou * libpcap * libevent2 * libbsd (linux only) Installation ============ git clone git@meg:glouglou cd gg_sniff make && sudo make install Usage ===== gg_sniff -i eth0 Notes on architecture and security ================================== gg_sniff must be run as root. It drops priviledges to user _gg_sniff and chroots into _gg_sniff user home (/var/empty). gg_sniff does: * configuration, glouglou server reporting, droppriv and chroot (gg_sniff.c) * read pcapfd to capture network traffic (pcap.c) * async DNS resolving using evdns (dns.c) Note that gg_sniff activates extra protections on libpcap file descriptor, by setting it to readonly, for now on OpenBSD only. It does so by reimplementing some of libpcap functions, see pcap.c my_pcap_open_live() Limitations =========== If your dns server changes during gg_sniff execution, gg_sniff will keep using the old ones. The only fix is to restart the gg_sniff process.
