Gurus, how can I capture the data which goes over a net connection and meets a simple criteria of (remote-ip:port)?
Yes I know of tcpdump and ethereal, but I don't find either easy to use, and more to the point, both produce copious amounts of tcp data (SYN bits, mac addresses, tcp-ack packets, etc bla bla) which I don't want to know of. Say I want to have the data (data only) which goes between my host and a remote:21 (i.e. ftp control channel) dumped into a file. Or, right now I'd like to see what the exchange between fetchmail and the pop3 server is, to find out precisely what kind of header mangling fetchmail performs on an email before delivering it locally. Does anyone know of a simple way to achieve this? Or any way at all?
