I have written the simple test class which is meant to listen on Eth and receive all UDP packets, which go to port 5001:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws SocketException, UnknownHostException, IOException {
DatagramSocket socket = new DatagramSocket(5001, InetAddress.getByName("255.255.255.255"));
socket.setBroadcast(true);
System.out.println("Listen on " + socket.getLocalAddress() + " from " + socket.getInetAddress() + " port " + socket.getBroadcast());
byte[] buf = new byte[512];
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
while (true) {
System.out.println("Waiting for data");
socket.receive(packet);
System.out.println("Data received");
}
}
}
It does not work anymore. It prints out Waiting for data and never continue. tcpdump shows me, that UDP broadcast packets come. What am I doing wrong? Thank you much.

Receiver can't listen on a broadcast address.
Broadcast address is for senders - sender can send a packet with 255.255.255.255:5001 as a destination, and all receivers listening that port in a subnet would receive it. But there is no way to create a receiver that can receive "all UDP packets".
If you already have a broadcast sender and want to receive its packets, you need to listen on a wildcard address instead:
DatagramSocket socket = new DatagramSocket(5001, InetAddress.getByName("0.0.0.0"));
