Socket Listener (on Linux)

I'm searching for a way to listen to a specific port on a specific ip and just dump all incoming data.

It has to work on linux, perferrably something that comes as debian package but if i have to compile it thats fine to.

Would be nice if the data gets stored in a mysql database, but just a file would be ok to.

Thanks!

Thanks for all your suggestions but i had to go another way...

There is a Debian Package called 'ucspi-tcp' which contains 'tcpserver'

tcpserver just listens on a port and pipes everything into a process you specify. In my case i wrote a little script that stores the data in a mysql Database.

Yet another tool is tcpdump and its descendants:

sudo tshark -w /tmp/out.pcap -s 2000 -i eth0 ip host 198.51.100.99 and tcp port 80

Another tool you can use is ngrep / very similar to tcpdump but you can tell it to only listen for packets containing a certain string. You can specify a port and source and destination IP as well

You can always use Nmap (more advanced).

It is an utility for network exploration or security auditing...

netcat, often packaged as nc, is a great tool for such tasks.
