RE: Looking for an IPsec packet analyzer




Anyone wanted to trace/decode just the headers (without having a clue of the
contents - which would mostly be encrypted), then you can use any one of the
IPSEC routers out there that has ISAKMP/ESP/AH protocol analysis:

Target device-----------IPSEC router-----------IPSEC source

The ISAKMP/ESP/AH pacjets passing through 'IPSEC router' could then be
analysed by its protocol trace engine.

We have a GUI tool that provides ISAKMP/ESP/AH decode in full colour, but
it's not a LAN sniffer as such. If anyone is interested, I can send an
example ISAKMP analysis.

There is tcpdump in KAME that is IPv6/IPsec stack for BSD*.
KAME's tcpdump can decode some packet of both IKE in part of
phase 1 and IPsec.
Please refer to http://www.kame.net/
