Thanks, but that's actually not what I need.
I am developing a netfilter module. I am catching packets at the IP layer and in some cases my decision is to drop outgoing packets.
Naturally, when I am dropping packets at the IP post routing, they never reach libpcap and are not recorded by wireshark.
This makes the lives of the testing people (and mine) difficult as we can't see the full flow and we don't know for sure the reason for problems etc.
What I am looking for is a way to take the packet I am going to drop and hand it over to libpcapc (as an sk_buff) so that it will be captured by wireshark.
Thanks,
Ori
