TCPdump has a feature to capture and save its result in a “.pcap” file, to do this just execute: tcpdump -w eth0.pcap -i eth0 To get a list of available interfaces on the system you can run the following command: tcpdump -D Capture and save packets in a file tcpdump -i eth0 -A Display available interfaces The below TCPdump command with the flag “-A” displays the packages in ASCII format. Using “-c” flag will allow you to capture a specific number of packets, for example, with the command below we can capture 20 packets of our eth0 interface: tcpdump -i eth0 -c 20 Print captured packets in ASCII tcpdump -i eth0 Capture only specific number of packets If you execute the TCPdump command with the “-i” flag you can name an interface and the TCPdump tool will start capture that specific interface packets for you. Capture packets from a specific interface Once the TCPdump tool is installed, you can continue to browse following commands.
