2) the same kernel module starts a kernel thread to listen on a udp
hello,
i'm programming a monitoring application for udp (as voice streams, over
RTP). the scope of the application is to act as a filter between MAC and
IP layers to acquire data (packet bytes and src/dst addresses/ports) and
optionally drop some streams.
yes you can do that easily with netfilter hooks.
dispite it could be done in user-space, i'm doing it in a kernel module
and i'm having some problems...
1) to get all ethernet frames i'm using dev_add_pack:
static struct packet_type kvoipmonitor_packet_type = {
.type = __constant_htons(ETH_P_ALL),
.func = (void *)kvoipmonitor_rcv,
};
dev_add_pack(&kvoipmonitor_packet_type);
but i can't get packets promiscuosly, isn't? i only receive PACKET_HOST,
PACKET_BROADCAST and PACKET_OUTGOING packets (and not PACKET_OTHERHOST)
it's correct what i'm doing?
i dont think thT you require to add new packet handler.
it would be easier with netfilter hooks?
yes.
socket. it works fine, but i can't kill the kernel thread because when
unloading the module it's blocked in the sock_recvmsg function
how must be invoked the sock_recvmsg function to allow to be interrupted
by a SIGKILL signal?
thanks in advance,
toni
