  • Remote Packet Sniff with Mikrotik

    Remote TZSP packet capture.

    • Prerequisites.
      • Working Mikrotik connected to a port/resource you would like to sniff.
      • A Linux-like host to receive the stream.

    Using Winbox (it makes it so easy eh?) go to Tools->Packet Sniffer. There add a server to receive a udp stream as well as a destination udp port. Odds are you will want to filter the stream (to restrict the type of traffic you’d like to stream).

    Tools -> Packet Sniffer -> Streaming

    Enter any filters here to make the pile of straw you’ll have to sift though latter just a bit smaller.

    Tools-> Packet Sniffer -> Filter

    On the target server with an account that has privileges’ on the specified port (usually anyone above 1024)

    tcpdump -i ens18 -tttt 'udp port 37008' -w capture.pcap

    To view in wireshark use a packet filter to properly handle the udp packets.
