+socat is a utility to relay data between two data channels. Channels that socat supports includes files, pipes, devices, sockets, raw IP sockets, and more, and more. It can be regarded as a more advanced version of netcat.

New page

socat is a utility to create and interface with unix sockets.

== Intercepting Unix Socket Data ==
If you want to see data sent to and from a Unix socket, one way is to proxy the socket on a TCP port, then create a new socket that forwards to this port, and then use {{code|tcpdump}} to capture any traffic.

For example:
{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=
## Say we want to see all traffic to /var/socket.sock
## Move the original socket elsewhere
# mv /var/socket.sock /var/socket-org.sock
## Make socat listen on 8888 for the original socket
# socat TCP-LISTEN:8888,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CONNECT:/var/socket-org.sock &
## Create a new socket with the original name and proxy all traffic to port 8888, which then gets redirected to the original socket with the first socat
# socat UNIX-LISTEN:/var/socket.sock,fork TCP-CONNECT:127.0.0.1:8888 &
## Dump all traffic on port 8888
# tcpdump -i lo -netvvvXSs 1514 port 8888
}}
