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.

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
Hi, Youa re using dst host and src host that's why. To see both direction between thiese hosts try tcpdump -i eth0 -s 1500 -w dump host 192.168.0.1 http://192.168.0.1 and host www.example.com http://www.example.com This way you will have only host to host conversation both direction.

Re: [Wireshark-users] tcpdump command
you are using src and dst filters. this is why you are only seeing traffic going in one way try just using the host that you are interested in so tcpdump -i eth0 -s 1500 -w dump2 host www.example.com On 18/05/07, Kaushal Shriyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I have to capture network traffic between an appliance and content server using tcpdump command and then dump to a file and read and decode it using wireshark How do i proceed I have used tcpdump -i eth0 -s 1500 -w dump src host 192.168.0.1 and dst host www.example.com when i read the dump capture file using wireshark i could only see packets being sent from src host to destination host, I could not see any packets being sent from destination host to src host.

However, -s 1500 will give you only the first 1500 bytes of an Ethernet packet - *including* the Ethernet header; that means that a full-sized Ethernet packet, with 1514 bytes (14 bytes of Ethernet header and 1500 bytes of payload) will only have the first 1486 bytes of payload captured. The largest -s value is 65535; you can either do -s 65535 or, with newer versions of tcpdump, -s 0 to get the full packet. (Wireshark tells dumpcap to use a snapshot length of 65535 by default, and TShark uses a snapshot length of 65535 by default.) Note also that the rules for capture filters in tcpdump are exactly the same as they are in Wireshark and TShark (because they're implemented with the same code). ___ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
