Hi,
perhaps the only way (although untested) may be to "ip link set
<interface> down" and to "rmmod
<according-kernel-module>"
which is in my opinion impractible :)
much nicer and easier:
create a simple rule matching everything incoming/outgoing your desired
device and insert it in the PREROUTING/POSTROUTING chain. (or a custom
rule to which is jumped in INPUT and FORWARD / OUTPUT and FORWARD)
e.g.
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 # for incoming
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 # for outgoing
or if u prefer not to use the nat table
e.g.
iptables -N eth0_out
iptables -N eth0_in
iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -j eth0_in
iptables -I FORWARD -i eth0 -j eth0_in
iptables -I FORWARD -o eth0 -j eth0_out
iptables -I INPUT -o eth0 -j eth0_out
with "iptables -t nat -L -vx" / "iptables -L -vx" u can read
bytes/packets and process this output in your script
hope that helps....
