I’m considering the possibility of using the new android (4.0) VpnService interface to implement simple packet capture and analysis. Does anyone know if it’s possible to take the packets you receive in a VpnService implementation and simply write them out to the active/default network device? To receive data, I’d have to be able to read from the network device as well, of course. If it is possible, what APIs can be used to write to the network device(s)?

    tPacketCapture creates a second socket to the remote machine to forward the packets. I have looked at tPacketCapture using adb shell netstat:

    Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address              Foreign Address            State 
tcp        0      0 192.168.1.126:49828        97.74.42.79:80             ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:5000      :::*                       LISTEN
tcp6       0    522 ::ffff:10.8.0.1:50294      ::ffff:97.74.42.79:80      ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 ::ffff:192.168.1.126:34210 ::ffff:74.125.141.188:5228 ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      1 ::ffff:192.168.1.126:43379 ::ffff:74.125.224.174:80   CLOSE_WAIT
tcp6       0      1 ::ffff:192.168.1.126:60217 ::ffff:74.125.239.14:443   CLOSE_WAIT

    Note 97.74.42.79:80 twice.

    Guess I’ll have to do the same unless someone has a better idea.
