Re: [Wireshark-users] tcpdump command to capture https traffic
Hi Guy Harris Thanks Guy Harris :-) Can I have online docs to understand TCP/IP Protocol and just to understand how the Network Packets are constructed. Thanks a Lot Awaiting your earnest reply Regards Kaushal On 7/19/07, Guy Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kaushal Shriyan wrote: is it better to run tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -w dump host 192.168.0.1 http://192.168.0.1/ and host 192.168.0.2 http://192.168.0.2/ and port 443 or instead tcpdump -i eth0 -s 1500 -w dump host 192.168.0.1 http://192.168.0.1/ and host 192.168.0.2 http://192.168.0.2/ and port 443 which is the best method Assuming you're using tcpdump 3.6 or later (as per my earlier mail, 3.4[.x] and 3.5[.x] don't support -s 0): Given that the snapshot length includes the link-layer header - i.e., it's *NOT* the MTU - a snapshot length of 1500 will cut off the last 14 bytes of a full-length 1514-byte Ethernet packet.

It's also better than -s 1514, because 1) it works on all interfaces, regardless of the maximum packet size (i.e., you don't have to know the maximum packet size of an interface if you just use -s 0); 2) it's 3 fewer characters to type. :-) ___ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users ___ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
Re: [Wireshark-users] tcpdump command to capture https traffic
Do you just want traffic between 192.168.0.1 AND 192.168.0.2? If so, that should work.

Re: [Wireshark-users] tcpdump command to capture https traffic
Thanks Guy Harris One more question is it better to run tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -w dump host 192.168.0.1 and host 192.168.0.2 and port 443 or instead tcpdump -i eth0 -s 1500 -w dump host 192.168.0.1 and host 192.168.0.2 and port 443 which is the best method Thanks and Regards Kaushal On 7/19/07, Guy Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kaushal Shriyan wrote: Thanks and what does s 0 signifies, I know s means snapshot length so what does s 0 signifies It means the maximum snapshot length, which is 65535 bytes.
