tcpdump(8) should allow you to do this; for example, if you're on a machine receiving www traffic from machine 10.0.0.2 on the eth0 interface, and capture it to a file (say www.tcpdump,) while keeping an eye on the content, you can do: # tcpdump -s 12800 -i eth0 src 10.0.0.2 and port 80 -w /dev/tty | tee www.tcpdump Note that you'll probably get some junk after the headers (that's the actual raw dump of the data being transmitted over HTTP.) We've been using this fairly recently to test some interactions hehe. Cheers, Zakame -- Zak B.
