Hi All,
I'm quite new to linux world. I've a very awkard question for you.
That is: I'm writting an user process, where I need all outgoing
IP packets to be blocked and captured. First, is it really possible? If
yes, how? I don't want to make any kernel source code changes. A wild
guess: by configuration changes, is it possible to make IP process write
on to a particular FD which I can read when I require?
Thanks,
dipak

Get the source-code of `tcpdump` and see how packet capturing is done.
You can also look at `ipchains` to see how to block packets.

I was going to compile a list of innovations that could be
attributed to Microsoft. Once I realized that Ctrl-Alt-Del
was handled in the BIOS, I found that there aren't any.

Look at how tools like tcpdump and etherreal do it.
It has been done over and over again -- in userspace tool.

I would suggest using IPTables, personally, that's what I use for all of my firewall-type needs.
