Userland bridge, exposing full packet contents for analysis.
Can be used with one ( single arm ) or two interfaces ( normal ).

Basic setup:
Create two bridge interfaces, combining one real interface and one tap ( virtual ) interface. Ex:

brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 tap0

brctl addbr br1
brctl addif br1 eth1
brctl addif br1 tap1

Bring all interfaces up
ifconfig tap1 up
ifconfig tap0 up
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth1 up
ifconfig br0 up
ifconfig br1 up


Packet Flow:
Using the example above, packets coming on eth0 will be read by tap0, analyzed to script engine and sent out to tap1, reaching eth1.

eth0->tap0->script_engine->tap1->eth1
[   br0   ]               [   br1   ]
