[tcpdump-workers] using tcpdump

2013-05-16 Thread Mahmood Naderan
Hello all users
I am using scientific linux 6.3 which kernel 2.6.32-279.5.1.el6.x86_64. The 
chassis, say 'A', has 3 network interfaces. Eth1 has valid IP and is connected 
to internet and eth2 has invalid IP and is connected to another local switch.

Problem is that the internet is randomly disconnected on eth1 so the computer 
is unreachable through ping command. At the same time, there is another 
chassis, say 'B', which has also the same configuration. I mean one interface 
of 'B' is connected to the internet (same internet witch as 'A') and one 
interface to local switch (same local switch as 'A'). However 'B' uses Ubuntu 
12.04.

The internet connection is steady and that means while 'A' is unreachable, 'B' 
can be pinged.

The situation is very very random, so I tried to use "tcpdump -vvv -i eth1" to 
see if I can find any useful information about connect/disconnect messages.

Can tcpdump help me with this problem? Any feedback is appreciated.

 
Regards,
Mahmood

I think not if you are not very experienced using it.  I would suspect
that you have a duplicate IP address on your internet side.

[tcpdump-workers] DLT for Bluetooth Low Energy

2013-05-16 Thread dragorn
The list seems to be rejecting some posts, I just unsubbed/resubbed
myself in the hopes that it wakes up and lets me post this time; it
also bounced Mike Ryans post and he asked me to send it along.

From: Mike Ryan 
To: drag...@kismetwireless.net
Subject: request: DLT for Bluetooth Low Energy

[sent this as-is to tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org]

I would like a DLT for Bluetooth Low Energy, which is described in the
following document (warning, large PDF):

https://www.bluetooth.org/docman/handlers/downloaddoc.ashx?doc_id=229737

The link layer specification begins on PDF page 2189. The packet format
and headers begin on page 2200.

Background: I am a security researcher and have implemented a BTLE
sniffer for project Ubertooth (http://ubertooth.sf.net). One of my tools
dumps captured packets to PCAP, currently using USER_DLT0. I have also
written a Wireshark protocol dissector for these PCAP files.

These pieces of software are intended for public release, so I would
like a DLT for interoperability.

More information about can be found at my personal site:
