Sniff ONLY POP3 authentication by intercepting the USER command

dsniff is general purpose password sniffer, it handles *lots* of different protocols, but it also handles tcp-style expressions for limiting analyzed traffic - so I can limit it to work on pop3 only.

Sniff ONLY POP3 authentication by intercepting the USER command

The command is useful for monitoring the use of the boxes and their connection IP.

Result file "sniff" is readable with GUI program "wireshark" or through CLI with the command:

tcpdump -f "sniff" -XX

analyze traffic remotely over ssh w/ wireshark

This captures traffic on a remote machine with tshark, sends the raw pcap data over the ssh link, and displays it in wireshark. Hitting ctrl+C will stop the capture and unfortunately close your wireshark window. This can be worked-around by passing -c # to tshark to only capture a certain # of packets, or redirecting the data through a named pipe rather than piping directly from ssh to wireshark. I recommend filtering as much as you can in the tshark command to conserve bandwidth. tshark can be replaced with tcpdump thusly:

ssh root@example.com tcpdump -w - 'port !22' | wireshark -k -i -
