I am trying to use snoop on solaris 10 to detect traffic between a client and server both located on my machine. Question: I just want to verify that I should use the loopback interface for this.
So now for the real question.
I have found a few posts that suggest that you cannot use snoop on Solaris to listen to a loopback interface. Can someone verify this for me. I have found a few threads that seems to suggest this but most of them are fairly old (see links at bottom).
Has this problem been solved? Is there a way to listen to a loop back interface on Solaris 10? (Using snoop or another method. My assumption is that if snoop will not work something like wireshark will not work either).
This is what I have tried:
% sudo snoop -d lo0
Which results in this:
snoop: cannot open "lo0": DLPI link does not exist
Thanks
