RADSNIFF(8)

💖 RADSNIFF(8) — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to radsniff, from the System Manager's Manual section 8. yes this is a real man page, and yes we're doing this together, hand in hand, group-chat style. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

radsniff — dump radius protocol 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

radsniff [-c count] [-d directory] [-F] [-f filter] [-h] [-i interface]
[-I filename] [-m] [-p port] [-r requestfilter] [-R responsefilter] [-s
secret] [-S] [-w file] [-x]

look at her. all those little flags. she's iconic, she's flexible, she's serving options. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like. radsniff is a simple wrapper around libpcap. 🧚 That's the whole vibe. But — and this is the part that makes her main character — she can also print out the contents of RADIUS packets using the FreeRADIUS dictionaries. 📖✨

So she sniffs, and she translates, and she tells you what's actually inside the packets. Not me being obsessed with a network tool but here we are. 😭

💅 OPTIONS 💅

the whole menu, no skips, no cuts, every single one. periodt.

• -c count — Number of packets to capture. 🍓
• -d directory — Directory where the dictionaries are found. 📂
• -F — Filter PCAP file from stdin to stdout. Output file will contain RADIUS packets. 🌈
• -f filter — PCAP filter. (default is udp port 1812 or 1813) 👑
• -h — Print usage help information. 🆘
• -i interface — Interface to capture. 🛰️
• -I filename — Read packets from filename. 📥
• -m — Print packet headers only, not contents. 🙈
• -p port — Listen for packets on port. 🔌
• -r attribute-filter — RADIUS attribute request filter. 📨
• -R attribute-filter — RADIUS attribute response filter. 📬
• -s secret — RADIUS secret. 🤫
• -S — Sort attributes in the packet. Used to compare server results. 🔀
• -w file — Write output packets to file. 💾
• -x — Print out debugging information. 🐛

note bestie: in the synopsis she's written as -r requestfilter and -R responsefilter, and down here in the options she's -r attribute-filter and -R attribute-filter. same flag, two outfits. both canon. don't @ me. 💖
