Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
For a variety of reasons, I need to be able to make an ethernet |
| 4 |
interface on a gentoo system, change into listen only (stealth mode). |
| 5 |
Kind of like half duplex, so to speak. Any simple tricks? |
| 6 |
Just disabling all responses from the ethernet interface would do. |
| 7 |
I know I can just use 'ifconfig eth0 down' but anything more |
| 8 |
elegant or that would allow the interface to keep receiving |
| 9 |
packets for analysis and logging would be better. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
At other times I need to run a full blown IDS, like snort, |
| 12 |
on an ethernet port, but without being externally detected. |
| 13 |
What would be best method (tools) to ensure the interface is actually |
| 14 |
not detectable on a given lan segment? |
| 15 |
Here is a good (Redhat) but old link that kind of outlines the idea: |

Any web pages, documents or information that is more current and |
| 20 |
gentoo specific would be of greatly appreciated. |

TIA, |
