Python socket sniffer on AIX5.3 not working

[arnar75]

Hello all,

I'm trying to create a python network sniffing script that will grab certain traffic that I need to log.

So far I have not been able to sniff anything but ICMP packets which is strange since the same code works fine on linux.

Python version is 2.7.5

python code :

import socket

#create an INET, STREAMing socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.IPPROTO_IP)
s.bind(('', 0))

# receive a packet
while True:
print "Sniffing"
packet = s.recvfrom(65565)
print packet


any help would be greatly appreciated
