Re: capture arp in hook and queue to userspace

ARP packets are not really IP packets, hence I dont think you can catch
them using netfilter hooks as they sit in the IP layer.

Subject:    capture arp in hook and queue to userspace



Hello,

I intend to capture all incoming packets (IP and ARP) and queue them for
userspace using the ip_queue module, and let my userspace application make
all verdicts. I have written a module using netfilter, and successfully
queued all IP-packets, but now I have no clue how to capture the ARP
packets, using this hook...

my_pre.hook        = my_in_hook;
my_pre.hooknum     = NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING;
my_pre.pf          = PF_INET;
my_pre.priority    = NF_IP_PRI_FIRST;

unsigned int my_in_hook( unsigned int hooknum,
                         struct sk_buff **skb,
                         const struct net_device *in,
                         const struct net_device *out,
                         int ( *okfn ) ( struct sk_buff *) )


How does the ARP hook work? What do I have to change to capture all ARP
packets? Please show me an example
Thanks for helping me,

Sincerely Magnus
