First, thanks to everyone who pointed out that TCPDump *is* already in
the system, and that I could cease with my vain efforts to port it.
Secondly, I read the man pages for TCPDump and after playing around with
them, I have found that I can see all of the traffic passing through the
Airport I'm connected to. Great if I am trying to snoop on friends and
family. NOT SO GREAT if I'm trying to diagnose traffic to my system. So
can anyone explain why I'm getting everyone's traffic? Does this have
something to do with Promiscuous Mode?
Thirdingly, I have noticed that while TCPDump catches everything on the
Airport, it completely misses communiques with localhost. What's going
on there?
Thanks, and I promise I'm almost done with my slew of questions for the
day :-)
