Whilst tcpdump is a quick and easy way to see and capture traffic it is not exactly an easy tool to use when you want to figure out what is going on. For that we need to use a more sophisticated tool than tcpdump. This is a minor improvement in that we can now see the HTTP GET request with the query we are using and see the HTTP response but we still cannot easily drop down into the JSON in the result to see what Twitter is sending back. GET /search.json?rpp =100 & q =apple HTTP/1.1 The http request starts on line 5 where you can see an outgoing connection to port 80: My local IP address is 192.168.1.66 and the IP of the remote Twitter server in this case is 199.59.148.201. The -t option gets rid of the timestamp on each line, -q removes some of the packet header information which is not interesting and finally we specify that we are only interested in TCP/IP packets. Note the tcpdump options I am using to cut down some of the noise. Listening on rvi0, link-type RAW (Raw IP ), capture size 65535 bytes

Tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode (BIOCPROMISC: Operation not supported on socket ) tcpdump: WARNING: rvi0: no IPv4 address assigned Tcpdump: WARNING: rvi0: That device doesn 't support promiscuous mode The following command needs to be entered in the terminal window: The remote virtual interface is created using the rvictl command, using the UDID you obtained in the previous step.

Use the Xcode organizer to obtain the UDID of the device (the value you want is named Identifier):.

Plug your iOS device into the USB port of your Mac.

The steps to get the virtual network interface up and running are as follows: Once you have the virtual interface you can use your favourite network debugging tool such as tcpdump or wireshark to view the network traffic. The basic technique is to create an OS X remote virtual network interface that represents the remote network stack of the iOS device. No jailbreaking or hacking of your device is required to get this to work.

The only other requirement is that the device be connected to the host computer via USB.

Remote Virtual InterfacesĪs with the Network Link Conditioner you need to use a host Mac computer to perform remote packet capture of an iOS device. In this post I want to highlight another useful network debugging tool which allows you capture network traffic from an iOS device. I previously posted about using the Network Link Conditioner to create realistic and “challenging” network conditions when testing iOS apps.
