TCPDUMP
https://openmaniak.com/fr/tcpdump.php
tcpdump -D See the list of interfaces on which tcpdump can listen
tcpdump -i eth0 Listen on interface eth0:
tcpdump -i any Listen on any available interface (cannot be done in promiscuous mode. Requires Linux kernel 2.2 or greater):
tcpdump -v Be verbose while capturing packets:
tcpdump -vv Be more verbose while capturing packets
tcpdump -vvv Be very verbose while capturing packets
tcpdump -v -X Be verbose and print the data of each packet in both hex and ASCII, excluding the link level header:
tcpdump -v -XX Be verbose and print the data of each packet in both hex and ASCII, also including the link level header:
tcpdump -q Be less verbose (than the default) while capturing packets
tcpdump -c 100 Limit the capture to 100 packets
tcpdump -w capture.cap Record the packet capture to a file called capture.cap:
tcpdump -v -w capture.cap Record the packet capture to a file called capture.cap but display on-screen how many packets have been captured in real-time:
tcpdump -r capture.cap Display the packets of a file called capture.cap:
tcpdump -vvv -r capture.cap Display the packets using maximum detail of a file called capture.cap:
tcpdump -n Display IP addresses and port numbers instead of domain and service names when capturing packets (note: on some systems you need to specify -nn to display port numbers):
tcpdump -n dst host 192.168.1.1 Capture any packets where the destination host is 192.168.1.1. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n src host 192.168.1.1 Capture any packets where the source host is 192.168.1.1. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n host 192.168.1.1 Capture any packets where the source or destination host is 192.168.1.1. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n dst net 192.168.1.0/24 Capture any packets where the destination network is 192.168.1.0/24. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n src net 192.168.1.0/24 Capture any packets where the source network is 192.168.1.0/24. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n net 192.168.1.0/24 Capture any packets where the source or destination network is 192.168.1.0/24. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n dst port 23 Capture any packets where the destination port is 23. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n dst portrange 1-1023 Capture any packets where the destination port is is between 1 and 1023 inclusive. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n tcp dst portrange 1-1023 Capture only TCP packets where the destination port is is between 1 and 1023 inclusive. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n udp dst portrange 1-1023 Capture only UDP packets where the destination port is is between 1 and 1023 inclusive. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n "dst host 192.168.1.1 and dst port 23" Capture any packets with destination IP 192.168.1.1 and destination port 23. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -n "dst host 192.168.1.1 and (dst port 80 or dst port 443)" Capture any packets with destination IP 192.168.1.1 and destination port 80 or 443. Display IP addresses and port numbers:
tcpdump -v icmp Capture any ICMP packets:
tcpdump -v arp Capture any ARP packets:
tcpdump -v "icmp or arp" Capture either ICMP or ARP packets:
tcpdump -n "broadcast or multicast" Capture any packets that are broadcast or multicast:
tcpdump -s 500 Capture 500 bytes of data for each packet rather than the default of 68 bytes:
tcpdump -s 0 Capture all bytes of data within the packet:
