About: ops_tcpdump_handler

This cookbook is for local testing purposes only. It installs and
configures tcpdump, then sets that up as a service to monitor traffic
during the chef run. At the end of the run, a handler will read and
print out the sniffed network traffic.
Inspired by huchen.

Usage:

If you are using Berkshelf for dependency resolution add an entry in your Berksfile, probably in a group:

group :development do
cookbook 'ops_tcpdump_handler'
end


Place the cookbook at the beginning of your local run_list. For example,
in vagrant:

cfg.vm.provision :chef_client do |chef|
  chef.add_recipe 'ops_tcpdump_handler'
  chef.add_recipe 'another_recipe'
end

Then, at the end of your run you should see something similar to:

...
==> node01: attempted to connect to: proxy06.fedoraproject.org using http
==> node01: attempted to connect to: mirror.sfo12.us.leaseweb.net using http
==> node01: attempted to connect to: li63-48.members.linode.com using https
==> node01: attempted to connect to: 23.235.40.133 using https
==> node01: attempted to connect to: github.com using https
==> node01: attempted to connect to: codeload.github.com using https
==> node01: attempted to connect to: s3-1.amazonaws.com using https

Warning

This is for local testing only. Do not apply this cookbook to a
production node.

If your cookbook relies on the runit community cookbook then any calls to the internet made by that cookbook will
not show up in the logs as runit has already been configure before this
service begins monitoring traffic.
