# Network Sniffer (tcpdump) as a Service
|
|
|
|
Provides an HTTP service that allows the user to sniff the network in real time. The packet capture data is served as an HTTP stream that can be injected to a packet analysis tool on the fly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to run it
|
|
|
|
For the sake of simplicity, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo -E kapow server NetworkSniffer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In a production environment, tcpdump should be run with the appropiate
|
|
permissions, but kapow can (and should) run as an unprivileged user.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to consume it
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ curl http://localhost:8080/sniff | sudo -E wireshark -k -i -
|
|
```
