Alternative to tcpdump that can be run as non-root user?

[Neo_78]

tcpdump filtering requires root privileges to be executed.

Do you know any network tools that can be run as a normal non-root user with the objective to monitor incoming traffic by IP source?

bmon, for instance, can be run in this way and will graphically display traffic spikes, but won't show the type of data that is received nor the IP location.

Thanks for sharing your ideas!

According to https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup ... Privileges this might work:

Code: Select all

sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip /usr/sbin/tcpdump
