<pre wrap="">I have a remote device that is generating data and is sending as a TCP
packet to designated IP:Port. If I open and set a non standard port I
am able to receive the packets using a listener. Problem is that the
host where I have to move this project allows listening only on port
80 (apache) or port 25/110 (mail) or port 22 (ssh)
How can I set up apache or iptables to log in incoming data packets
while at the same time allow apache to serve web pages?
My google time continues to turn up inconclusive leads.

<pre wrap="">If you're sniffing, which is what it sounds like you're doing, then it
doesn't matter which "port you have open." You don't need to have any
"ports open" on your sniffer. Rob Owens suggested Wireshark, and I
agree with him. TCPDump is another good sniffer.

No I am not sniffing. The remote device can be set to send packets to
any IP:Port combination. So I just opened a random high port in my
firewall and used "nc" to read the packets at that port. Then another
program takes over and process these and log them on to database.
Now problem is after establishing proof of concept on my laptop I need
to run this system on a web-host and that host only has ports
mentioned open.

Which packets do you want to log on this Web server? From your
response, I'm guessing it's accessible directly from the Internet (i.
e. not through a proxy) and uses packet-filtering as its firewalling
strategy.<br>
