[K12OSN] Reading TCP packets

[Julius Szelagiewicz]

So, Sudev, you'd rather have a "conforming" email that one with an answer?
:-)


The mechanism you can use is the same one used for port redirection for
internet proxy. Below is my entry in nat table for proxy forwarding:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT
--to-destination 216.216.171.6:3128
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination
216.216.171.6:3128

You would modify it by adding --source (your packet generator) and change
port for the listener. Piece of cake.
