Demonstrations of ttysnoop, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ttysnoop watches a tty or pts device, and prints the same output that is
|
|
appearing on that device. It can be used to mirror the output from a shell
|
|
session, or the system console.
|
|
|
|
Let's snoop /dev/pts/2:
|
|
|
|
# ./ttysnoop 2
|
|
<screen clears>

What we're seeing is another shell session. The first line was "date" without
|
|
the shell prompt ("#") because we began tracing after the prompt was printed.
|
|
The other commands appeared, keystroke by keystroke, as the user was typing
|
|
them. Spooky!
|
|
|
|
Remember to Ctrl-C to exit ttysnoop.

To figure out which pts device number to use, you can check your own with "ps"
|
|
and other's with "w". For example:
|
|
|
|
# ps -p $$
|
|
PID TTY TIME CMD
|
|
9605 pts/1 00:00:00 bash
|
|
# w
|
|
01:26:37 up 9 days, 35 min, 2 users, load average: 0.22, 0.22, 0.15
|
|
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
|
|
root pts/1 100.127.65.241 00:39 2.00s 0.33s 0.33s -bash
|
|
root pts/2 100.127.65.241 00:40 16.00s 1.06s 1.06s -bash
|
|
|
|
So I'm pts/1, and there's another session that's pts/2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can also snoop tty devices using their full path. Eg, snooping the system
|
|
console:
|
|
|
|
# ./ttysnoop /dev/console

USAGE:
|
|
|
|
# ./ttysnoop.py -h
|
|
usage: ttysnoop.py [-h] [-C] device
|
|
|
|
Snoop output from a pts or tty device, eg, a shell
|
|
|
|
positional arguments:
|
|
device path to a tty device (eg, /dev/tty0) or pts number
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-C, --noclear don't clear the screen
|
|
|
|
examples:
|
|
./ttysnoop /dev/pts/2 # snoop output from /dev/pts/2
|
|
./ttysnoop 2 # snoop output from /dev/pts/2 (shortcut)
|
|
./ttysnoop /dev/console # snoop output from the system console
|
|
./ttysnoop /dev/tty0 # snoop output from /dev/tty0
