PCAP or Packet Capture is used to
analyse the information passing on your
network between different devices.
Basically it sets the Ethernet controller
in to a mode where it collects every
packet it sees on the Network, whether
addressed to the system you are on or
not.
Normally you would need to set up a
Mirror Port on an Ethernet Switch to
collect this data which is complex and
time consuming. However the Linux
Base software has PCAP built-in thus
allowing capture to be done directly on
the server.
Firstly however you need to enable
PCAP by using the command
$harden nettools on
This allows PCAP to be used, it is then
a case of starting PCAP as shown
$pcap start Start Capture
$pcap stop Stop Capture
