I am trying to install a transparent proxy to my current network. Currently there is only one client machine, directly connected to eth0 of my proxy. eth1 is connected to the switch and goes out from there. Now eth0 and eth1 is members of a bridge interface and packets are directly transmitted from one another. For other reasons, I can not assign IP addresses to these interfaces and use normal IP forwarding. What I need is, I have a HTTP sniffer on the proxy, to which I want to send packets with iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080 I want to grab these packets from BROUTING chain of BROUTE table. This is the BROUTE table in ebtables I have configured *broute :BROUTING ACCEPT :NATLOG ACCEPT -A BROUTING -p IPv4 --ip-proto tcp --ip-dport 80 --log-level info --log-prefix "LOG_BR" --log-ip -j DROP But none of the packets are received by iptables. I set some log lines in the iptables itself but they were never executed, thats why I don't think packets are coming to iptables chains. Heres the iptables filter table Table: filter Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination 1 LOG_INP tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:80 Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination 1 LOG_FWD tcp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:80 Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) num target prot opt source destination Chain LOG_FWD (1 references) num target prot opt source destination 1 LOG all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 LOG flags 0 level 6 prefix `IP_FIL_FWD' Chain LOG_INP (1 references) num target prot opt source destination 1 LOG all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 LOG flags 0 level 6 prefix `IP_FIL_INP' I expect to at least see the dropped packets from ebtables BROUTING in the iptables PREROUTING chain of RAW table. But it's as if those packets are just discarded. Whereas the man pages say dropped packets from brouting are handed over to higher network layers. What are the iptables/ebtables rules I have to use for this scenario -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
