ipchains blocks from SOCK_RAW?

I've noticed that, using ipchains (kernel 2.1.115), packet sniffers are unable
to see packets which are blocked by the firewall. As I recall, ipfwadm didn't
behave in this way. What I want to do is this: I have the firewall block
certain packets, but I would like to analyse these packets to see if they are
in fact malicious in nature. Is this possible?
