Summary A tool for network monitoring and data acquisition
Description tcpdump is a command-line tool for capturing network packets on one or more interfaces. tcpdump uses libpcap and has a wide range of options for displaying and filtering captured data. It can also save captured packages to a file for later inspection either with tcpdump itself, or another application.
