Hi Mehul,
Thanks for replying. Got it working, had to modify the command
just a bit.
$ sudo tcpdump -s0 -i eth1 -w output.cap host 59.95.28.28
tcpdump: listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size
65535 bytes
^C34 packets captured
36 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
Then ran wireshark on output.cap and was able to see the results.
It is a pretty good tool. Trying to find more about the same.
