I am not sure of your intent (inbound vs outbound info). If you want to 
collect inbound information, you need to monitor syscalls for inbound events 
such as accept, accept4, recv, recvfrom. Ping uses ICMP packets and is not 
likely to show up in normal syscalls. You might find them by placing audit 
rules in the iptables rules.
