1 SEP Packet Capturing Using the Linux Netfilter Framework Ivan Pronchev

2 Today's Agenda Goals of the Project Motivation Revision Design Enhancements tcpdump vs kernel sniffer Interesting and Future Questions

3 Goals of the Project Approaching Linux netfilter framework Developing kernel sniffer Comparing with an existing packet capturing tool

4 Motivation Finding ways to improve capturing rates Userspace vs Kernelspace

5 Revision Linux Netfilter Framework Main Data Structures Receive Livelock Processing Multiple Frames During an Interrupt(NAPI) NAPI/non NAPI Frame Reception Packet Path through the IP Kernel Stack Netfilter Hooks in Details Kernel Sniffer
