Tcpdump network is a basic command packet analysis line utility. It shows the TCP / IP and other network transmission on the packet network, tcpdump for most Unix-like operating system, the system (e.g., Linux, BSD, etc.). tcpdump Unix-like systems require the use of WinPcap like this under Windows libpcap capture data library.

Now, let's look at an example of tcpdump command.
example:
We will use the following as an example of a file created command input
Example 1: capturing packets from all the interfaces
Tcpdump command capture network using the package, as shown below:
......
Example 2: capture packets from a particular interface
You can use with "tcpdump" command and option "-i" and the name of the interface to capture the network package from a particular interface.
......
Example 3: Check available interfaces
You can "tcpdump" command with the "-D" option to show all available interfaces, as shown below.
