![]() NOTE: You should also check out the Arp stuff article for more in-depth info about this topic. I will try something like this for a syslog server. I suppose you could create a dummy device in a chroot or something and pass the output from your promisc NIC to the dummy which would route the packets along a GRE or a wireless device or something. so this method is not 100% silent, but without a route or an address it can't really write data anywhere, so I'm still wondering where those 12bytes went. I did notice that after I had received 490MB of data on my eth0 device, it actually did say that it had Transmitted 12 bytes. This could be called an inefficient or sloppy way to do this, but it works great when I'm booting from knoppix or I just need to grab some packets silently. Then based on the output I'll have the shell script perform an action like append to a file or send me a text message to my cell. ![]() ![]()
