Tcpdump is great and I was looking ahead using it. The bigger was my surprise when I could not, because tcpdump does not recognize my PPP internet connection (or better the ppp0 device) as being configured. Apple's Network Utility has the same sort of problem (it shows only en0, even while being on-line via PPP). Here's an example:

Wrong ifconfig output
I've been able to use tcpdump on my machine, and here's how.
kernel thing
I think it's something to do with the way the ppp0 interface is implemented in the Darwin kernel. If you try to run nmap on the ppp0 interface it gives a bit more info (which I don't have at hand). I also noticed that Apple's supplied network port scanner only let's you use the en0 interface. |
