Unfortunately, the filtering that can be done with BPF (which is what tcpdump 
and Wireshark use for capture filtering) is limited in what it can do (by 
design - it's done by running an interpreted or JIT-compiled program in the 
kernel, and, to prevent infinite loops being run in the kernel, loops are not 
allowed, and there is no "search for a string" instruction).
