Re: Accessing sk_buffs from userspace

One of the easiest ways to get copies of sk_buff's without modifying any
kernel source would be to write a module that registers with netfilter. 
That way you get to look at every packet and/or clone them and pass them
to userspace.  I have no idea about the efficiency of such a task
though.  But, you could write this module in about 2 pages of source
code (including comments).`
