Many more examples can be found in the manual page of tcpdump.ġ.

With tcpdump -r $filename the file created above can be displayed. Tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes Same as above, but write the output to a file with the tcpdump -w $filename command. This screenshot is cropped to 76 characters for readability in the pdf. Listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytesĬapturing only ssh (tcp port 22) traffic can be done with tcpdump tcp port $port. Tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode Using the tcpdump host $ip command displays all traffic with one host (192.168.1.38 in this example). Sniffing on the command line can be done with tcpdump. Things become clearer when you enter icmp in the filter field and press the apply button. In total more than 200 packets were sniffed from the network.
