Re: [tcpdump-workers] Running TCPDUMP over a web interface

2011-09-17 Thread Tek Bahadur Limbu 
Hi Guy Harris,

Thank you for the reply.

My goal is to have a web interface and capture traffic and print in on
the screen live but only when a certain command string is supplied.
As stated, I need that web interface to be run over a Linux bridge box.

For the time being, I only need this web tool to run the traffic dump
over the br0 interface of that bridge with something like the
following options:

 tcpdump -enn -i br0 vlan 999

Can you provide further information about how we can go about
implementing this setup?


Thanks,

Tek Bahadur Limbu

No, I can't, because this is more about setting up a Web server than it is 
about tcpdump, and I'm not at all familiar with how to set up any particular 
Web server to run a command that produces continuous text output and update a 
Web page as more output is generated.  You might want to ask in, for example, a 
list about Apache or whatever Web server will be running on the bridge box.-
