I have a 4.8 machine with bpf compiled in the kernel. 'll /dev/bpf*'
shows:
crw------- 1 root wheel 23, 0 Sep 26 06:22 bpf0
crw------- 1 root wheel 23, 1 Mar 14 2003 bpf1
crw------- 1 root wheel 23, 2 Mar 14 2003 bpf2
crw------- 1 root wheel 23, 3 Mar 14 2003 bpf3
If I attempt to run nmap, I get this error:
pcap_open_live: (no devices found) /dev/bpf4: No such file or directory
I know I can make more bpf devices but how can I find what using the
ones that are already there? I do have 3 NICs on this machine and am
running ntop sniffing all NICs so I assume that accounts for 3 bpf
devices. What might be using the fourth?
Thanks,
Drew
