Tcpdump Tips & Tricks
TCPDUMP USAGE |
This article gives a few useful tcpdump examples. Tcpdump is a Linux network packet analyser. Using Tcpdump, the system administrator can see packets of data coming in and going out of a Linux system. Tcpdump is a great tool for network based application troubleshooting.
Listening to packets on “eth0″:
# tcpdump -i eth0
Listening for HTTP (port 80) packets only:
# tcpdump port 80
Listening for HTTP packets on “eth0″:
# tcpdump -i eth0 port 80
Listening for packets on all ports and all ethernet devices except SSH (port 22) packets:
# tcpdump not port 22
Listening for packets with a source IP address of “10.1.1.5″:
# tcpdump src 10.1.1.5
Listening for packets that are not SSH (port 22) packets and that have a souce address of “10.1.1.5″:
# tcpdump not port 22 and src 10.1.1.5
Listening for ICMP (ping) packets on all ethernet devices:
# tcpdump icmp
Saving tcpdump output for later analysis:
# tcpdump -w tcpdump.out
Using Tcpdump with input from a file created using the “-w” option (above):
#tcpdump -r tcpdump.out
Using Tcpdump with input from a file created using the “-w” option (above) and filtering for ICMP packets only:
#tcpdump icmp -r tcpdump.out
