.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
\fITcpdump\fP prints out a description of the contents of packets on a
|
|
network interface that match the boolean \fIexpression\fP. It can also
|
|
be run with the
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
flag, which causes it to save the packet data to a file for later
|
|
analysis, and/or with the
|
|
.B \-r
|
|
flag, which causes it to read from a saved packet file rather than to
|
|
read packets from a network interface. In all cases, only packets that
|
|
match
|
|
.I expression
|
|
will be processed by
|
|
.IR tcpdump .
|
|
.LP
|
|
.I Tcpdump
|
|
will, if not run with the
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
flag, continue capturing packets until it is interrupted by a SIGINT
|
|
signal (generated, for example, by typing your interrupt character,
|
|
typically control-C) or a SIGTERM signal (typically generated with the
|
|
.BR kill (1)
|
|
command); if run with the
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
flag, it will capture packets until it is interrupted by a SIGINT or
|
|
SIGTERM signal or the specified number of packets have been processed.
|
|
.LP
|
|
When
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
finishes capturing packets, it will report counts of:
|
|
.IP
|
|
packets ``captured'' (this is the number of packets that
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
has received and processed);
|
|
.IP
|
|
packets ``received by filter'' (the meaning of this depends on the OS on
|
|
which you're running
|
|
.IR tcpdump ,
|
|
and possibly on the way the OS was configured - if a filter was
|
|
specified on the command line, on some OSes it counts packets regardless
|
|
of whether they were matched by the filter expression and, even if they
|
|
were matched by the filter expression, regardless of whether
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
has read and processed them yet, on other OSes it counts only packets that were
|
|
matched by the filter expression regardless of whether
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
has read and processed them yet, and on other OSes it counts only
|
|
packets that were matched by the filter expression and were processed by
|
|
.IR tcpdump );
|
|
.IP
|
|
packets ``dropped by kernel'' (this is the number of packets that were
|
|
dropped, due to a lack of buffer space, by the packet capture mechanism
|
|
in the OS on which
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
is running, if the OS reports that information to applications; if not,
|
|
it will be reported as 0).
|
|
.LP
|
|
On platforms that support the SIGINFO signal, such as most BSDs
|
|
(including Mac OS X) and Digital/Tru64 UNIX, it will report those counts
|
|
when it receives a SIGINFO signal (generated, for example, by typing
|
|
your ``status'' character, typically control-T, although on some
|
|
platforms, such as Mac OS X, the ``status'' character is not set by
|
|
default, so you must set it with
|
|
.BR stty (1)
|
|
in order to use it) and will continue capturing packets.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Reading packets from a network interface may require that you have
|
|
special privileges:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Under SunOS 3.x or 4.x with NIT or BPF:
|
|
You must have read access to
|
|
.I /dev/nit
|
|
or
|
|
.IR /dev/bpf* .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Under Solaris with DLPI:
|
|
You must have read/write access to the network pseudo device, e.g.
|
|
.IR /dev/le .
|
|
On at least some versions of Solaris, however, this is not sufficient to
|
|
allow
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
to capture in promiscuous mode; on those versions of Solaris, you must
|
|
be root, or
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
must be installed setuid to root, in order to capture in promiscuous
|
|
mode. Note that, on many (perhaps all) interfaces, if you don't capture
|
|
in promiscuous mode, you will not see any outgoing packets, so a capture
|
|
not done in promiscuous mode may not be very useful.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Under HP-UX with DLPI:
|
|
You must be root or
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
must be installed setuid to root.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Under IRIX with snoop:
|
|
You must be root or
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
must be installed setuid to root.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Under Linux:
|
|
You must be root or
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
must be installed setuid to root (unless your distribution has a kernel
|
|
that supports capability bits such as CAP_NET_RAW and code to allow
|
|
those capability bits to be given to particular accounts and to cause
|
|
those bits to be set on a user's initial processes when they log in, in
|
|
which case you must have CAP_NET_RAW in order to capture and
|
|
CAP_NET_ADMIN to enumerate network devices with, for example, the
|
|
.B \-D
|
|
flag).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Under ULTRIX and Digital UNIX/Tru64 UNIX:
|
|
Any user may capture network traffic with
|
|
.IR tcpdump .
|
|
However, no user (not even the super-user) can capture in promiscuous
|
|
mode on an interface unless the super-user has enabled promiscuous-mode
|
|
operation on that interface using
|
|
.IR pfconfig (8),
|
|
and no user (not even the super-user) can capture unicast traffic
|
|
received by or sent by the machine on an interface unless the super-user
|
|
has enabled copy-all-mode operation on that interface using
|
|
.IR pfconfig ,
|
|
so
|
|
.I useful
|
|
packet capture on an interface probably requires that either
|
|
promiscuous-mode or copy-all-mode operation, or both modes of
|
|
operation, be enabled on that interface.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Under BSD (this includes Mac OS X):
|
|
You must have read access to
|
|
.I /dev/bpf*
|
|
on systems that don't have a cloning BPF device, or to
|
|
.I /dev/bpf
|
|
on systems that do.
|
|
On BSDs with a devfs (this includes Mac OS X), this might involve more
|
|
than just having somebody with super-user access setting the ownership
|
|
or permissions on the BPF devices - it might involve configuring devfs
|
|
to set the ownership or permissions every time the system is booted,
|
|
if the system even supports that; if it doesn't support that, you might
|
|
have to find some other way to make that happen at boot time.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Reading a saved packet file doesn't require special privileges.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-A
|
|
Print each packet (minus its link level header) in ASCII. Handy for
|
|
capturing web pages.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
Exit after receiving \fIcount\fP packets.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-C
|
|
Before writing a raw packet to a savefile, check whether the file is
|
|
currently larger than \fIfile_size\fP and, if so, close the current
|
|
savefile and open a new one. Savefiles after the first savefile will
|
|
have the name specified with the
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
flag, with a number after it, starting at 1 and continuing upward.
|
|
The units of \fIfile_size\fP are millions of bytes (1,000,000 bytes,
|
|
not 1,048,576 bytes).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
Dump the compiled packet-matching code in a human readable form to
|
|
standard output and stop.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-dd
|
|
Dump packet-matching code as a
|
|
.B C
|
|
program fragment.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-ddd
|
|
Dump packet-matching code as decimal numbers (preceded with a count).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-D
|
|
Print the list of the network interfaces available on the system and on
|
|
which
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
can capture packets. For each network interface, a number and an
|
|
interface name, possibly followed by a text description of the
|
|
interface, is printed. The interface name or the number can be supplied
|
|
to the
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
flag to specify an interface on which to capture.
|
|
.IP
|
|
This can be useful on systems that don't have a command to list them
|
|
(e.g., Windows systems, or UNIX systems lacking
|
|
.BR "ifconfig \-a" );
|
|
the number can be useful on Windows 2000 and later systems, where the
|
|
interface name is a somewhat complex string.
|
|
.IP
|
|
The
|
|
.B \-D
|
|
flag will not be supported if
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
was built with an older version of
|
|
.I libpcap
|
|
that lacks the
|
|
.B pcap_findalldevs()
|
|
function.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-e
|
|
Print the link-level header on each dump line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-E
|
|
Use \fIspi@ipaddr algo:secret\fP for decrypting IPsec ESP packets that
|
|
are addressed to \fIaddr\fP and contain Security Parameter Index value
|
|
\fIspi\fP. This combination may be repeated with comma or newline seperation.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Note that setting the secret for IPv4 ESP packets is supported at this time.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Algorithms may be
|
|
\fBdes-cbc\fP,
|
|
\fB3des-cbc\fP,
|
|
\fBblowfish-cbc\fP,
|
|
\fBrc3-cbc\fP,
|
|
\fBcast128-cbc\fP, or
|
|
\fBnone\fP.
|
|
The default is \fBdes-cbc\fP.
|
|
The ability to decrypt packets is only present if \fItcpdump\fP was compiled
|
|
with cryptography enabled.
|
|
.IP
|
|
\fIsecret\fP is the ASCII text for ESP secret key.
|
|
If preceeded by 0x, then a hex value will be read.
|
|
.IP
|
|
The option assumes RFC2406 ESP, not RFC1827 ESP.
|
|
The option is only for debugging purposes, and
|
|
the use of this option with a true `secret' key is discouraged.
|
|
By presenting IPsec secret key onto command line
|
|
you make it visible to others, via
|
|
.IR ps (1)
|
|
and other occasions.
|
|
.IP
|
|
In addition to the above syntax, the syntax \fIfile name\fP may be used
|
|
to have tcpdump read the provided file in. The file is opened upon
|
|
receiving the first ESP packet, so any special permissions that tcpdump
|
|
may have been given should already have been given up.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f
|
|
Print `foreign' IPv4 addresses numerically rather than symbolically
|
|
(this option is intended to get around serious brain damage in
|
|
Sun's NIS server \(em usually it hangs forever translating non-local
|
|
internet numbers).
|
|
.IP
|
|
The test for `foreign' IPv4 addresses is done using the IPv4 address and
|
|
netmask of the interface on which capture is being done. If that
|
|
address or netmask are not available, available, either because the
|
|
interface on which capture is being done has no address or netmask or
|
|
because the capture is being done on the Linux "any" interface, which
|
|
can capture on more than one interface, this option will not work
|
|
correctly.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-F
|
|
Use \fIfile\fP as input for the filter expression.
|
|
An additional expression given on the command line is ignored.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-G
|
|
If specified, rotates the dump file specified with the
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
option every \fIrotate_seconds\fP seconds.
|
|
Savefiles will have the name specified by
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
which should include a time format as defined by
|
|
.BR strftime (3).
|
|
If no time format is specified, each new file will overwrite the previous.
|
|
.IP
|
|
If used in conjunction with the
|
|
.B \-C
|
|
option, filenames will take the form of `\fIfile\fP<count>'.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
Listen on \fIinterface\fP.
|
|
If unspecified, \fItcpdump\fP searches the system interface list for the
|
|
lowest numbered, configured up interface (excluding loopback).
|
|
Ties are broken by choosing the earliest match.
|
|
.IP
|
|
On Linux systems with 2.2 or later kernels, an
|
|
.I interface
|
|
argument of ``any'' can be used to capture packets from all interfaces.
|
|
Note that captures on the ``any'' device will not be done in promiscuous
|
|
mode.
|
|
.IP
|
|
If the
|
|
.B \-D
|
|
flag is supported, an interface number as printed by that flag can be
|
|
used as the
|
|
.I interface
|
|
argument.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-K
|
|
Don't attempt to verify TCP checksums. This is useful for interfaces
|
|
that perform the TCP checksum calculation in hardware; otherwise,
|
|
all outgoing TCP checksums will be flagged as bad.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
Make stdout line buffered.
|
|
Useful if you want to see the data
|
|
while capturing it.
|
|
E.g.,
|
|
.br
|
|
``tcpdump\ \ \-l\ \ |\ \ tee dat'' or
|
|
``tcpdump\ \ \-l \ \ > dat\ \ &\ \ tail\ \ \-f\ \ dat''.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-L
|
|
List the known data link types for the interface and exit.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-m
|
|
Load SMI MIB module definitions from file \fImodule\fR.
|
|
This option
|
|
can be used several times to load several MIB modules into \fItcpdump\fP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-M
|
|
Use \fIsecret\fP as a shared secret for validating the digests found in
|
|
TCP segments with the TCP-MD5 option (RFC 2385), if present.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
Don't convert addresses (i.e., host addresses, port numbers, etc.) to names.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-N
|
|
Don't print domain name qualification of host names.
|
|
E.g.,
|
|
if you give this flag then \fItcpdump\fP will print ``nic''
|
|
instead of ``nic.ddn.mil''.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-O
|
|
Do not run the packet-matching code optimizer.
|
|
This is useful only
|
|
if you suspect a bug in the optimizer.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
\fIDon't\fP put the interface
|
|
into promiscuous mode.
|
|
Note that the interface might be in promiscuous
|
|
mode for some other reason; hence, `-p' cannot be used as an abbreviation for
|
|
`ether host {local-hw-addr} or ether broadcast'.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-q
|
|
Quick (quiet?) output.
|
|
Print less protocol information so output
|
|
lines are shorter.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-R
|
|
Assume ESP/AH packets to be based on old specification (RFC1825 to RFC1829).
|
|
If specified, \fItcpdump\fP will not print replay prevention field.
|
|
Since there is no protocol version field in ESP/AH specification,
|
|
\fItcpdump\fP cannot deduce the version of ESP/AH protocol.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-r
|
|
Read packets from \fIfile\fR (which was created with the
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
option).
|
|
Standard input is used if \fIfile\fR is ``-''.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-S
|
|
Print absolute, rather than relative, TCP sequence numbers.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
Snarf \fIsnaplen\fP bytes of data from each packet rather than the
|
|
default of 68 (with SunOS's NIT, the minimum is actually 96).
|
|
68 bytes is adequate for IP, ICMP, TCP
|
|
and UDP but may truncate protocol information from name server and NFS
|
|
packets (see below).
|
|
Packets truncated because of a limited snapshot
|
|
are indicated in the output with ``[|\fIproto\fP]'', where \fIproto\fP
|
|
is the name of the protocol level at which the truncation has occurred.
|
|
Note that taking larger snapshots both increases
|
|
the amount of time it takes to process packets and, effectively,
|
|
decreases the amount of packet buffering.
|
|
This may cause packets to be
|
|
lost.
|
|
You should limit \fIsnaplen\fP to the smallest number that will
|
|
capture the protocol information you're interested in.
|
|
Setting
|
|
\fIsnaplen\fP to 0 means use the required length to catch whole packets.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-T
|
|
Force packets selected by "\fIexpression\fP" to be interpreted the
|
|
specified \fItype\fR.
|
|
Currently known types are
|
|
\fBaodv\fR (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector protocol),
|
|
\fBcnfp\fR (Cisco NetFlow protocol),
|
|
\fBrpc\fR (Remote Procedure Call),
|
|
\fBrtp\fR (Real-Time Applications protocol),
|
|
\fBrtcp\fR (Real-Time Applications control protocol),
|
|
\fBsnmp\fR (Simple Network Management Protocol),
|
|
\fBtftp\fR (Trivial File Transfer Protocol),
|
|
\fBvat\fR (Visual Audio Tool),
|
|
and
|
|
\fBwb\fR (distributed White Board).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t
|
|
\fIDon't\fP print a timestamp on each dump line.

.B \-tt
|
|
Print an unformatted timestamp on each dump line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-ttt
|
|
Print a delta (micro-second resolution) between current and previous line
|
|
on each dump line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-tttt
|
|
Print a timestamp in default format proceeded by date on each dump line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-ttttt
|
|
Print a delta (micro-second resolution) between current and first line
|
|
on each dump line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-u
|
|
Print undecoded NFS handles.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-U
|
|
Make output saved via the
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
option ``packet-buffered''; i.e., as each packet is saved, it will be
|
|
written to the output file, rather than being written only when the
|
|
output buffer fills.
|
|
.IP
|
|
The
|
|
.B \-U
|
|
flag will not be supported if
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
was built with an older version of
|
|
.I libpcap
|
|
that lacks the
|
|
.B pcap_dump_flush()
|
|
function.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
When parsing and printing, produce (slightly more) verbose output.
|
|
For example, the time to live,
|
|
identification, total length and options in an IP packet are printed.
|
|
Also enables additional packet integrity checks such as verifying the
|
|
IP and ICMP header checksum.
|
|
.IP
|
|
When writing to a file with the
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
option, report, every 10 seconds, the number of packets captured.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-vv
|
|
Even more verbose output.
|
|
For example, additional fields are
|
|
printed from NFS reply packets, and SMB packets are fully decoded.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-vvv
|
|
Even more verbose output.
|
|
For example,
|
|
telnet \fBSB\fP ... \fBSE\fP options
|
|
are printed in full.
|
|
With
|
|
.B \-X
|
|
Telnet options are printed in hex as well.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
Write the raw packets to \fIfile\fR rather than parsing and printing
|
|
them out.
|
|
They can later be printed with the \-r option.
|
|
Standard output is used if \fIfile\fR is ``-''.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-W
|
|
Used in conjunction with the
|
|
.B \-C
|
|
option, this will limit the number
|
|
of files created to the specified number, and begin overwriting files
|
|
from the beginning, thus creating a 'rotating' buffer.
|
|
In addition, it will name
|
|
the files with enough leading 0s to support the maximum number of
|
|
files, allowing them to sort correctly.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Used in conjunction with the
|
|
.B \-G
|
|
option, this will limit the number of rotated dump files that get
|
|
created, exiting with status 0 when reaching the limit. If used with
|
|
.B \-C
|
|
as well, the behavior will result in cyclical files per timeslice.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-x
|
|
When parsing and printing,
|
|
in addition to printing the headers of each packet, print the data of
|
|
each packet (minus its link level header) in hex.
|
|
The smaller of the entire packet or
|
|
.I snaplen
|
|
bytes will be printed. Note that this is the entire link-layer
|
|
packet, so for link layers that pad (e.g. Ethernet), the padding bytes
|
|
will also be printed when the higher layer packet is shorter than the
|
|
required padding.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-xx
|
|
When parsing and printing,
|
|
in addition to printing the headers of each packet, print the data of
|
|
each packet,
|
|
.I including
|
|
its link level header, in hex.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-X
|
|
When parsing and printing,
|
|
in addition to printing the headers of each packet, print the data of
|
|
each packet (minus its link level header) in hex and ASCII.
|
|
This is very handy for analysing new protocols.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-XX
|
|
When parsing and printing,
|
|
in addition to printing the headers of each packet, print the data of
|
|
each packet,
|
|
.I including
|
|
its link level header, in hex and ASCII.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-y
|
|
Set the data link type to use while capturing packets to \fIdatalinktype\fP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-z
|
|
Used in conjunction with the
|
|
.B -C
|
|
or
|
|
.B -G
|
|
options, this will make
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
run "
|
|
.I command file
|
|
" where
|
|
.I file
|
|
is the savefile being closed after each rotation. For example, specifying
|
|
.B \-z gzip
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-z bzip2
|
|
will compress each savefile using gzip or bzip2.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Note that tcpdump will run the command in parallel to the capture, using
|
|
the lowest priority so that this doesn't disturb the capture process.
|
|
.IP
|
|
And in case you would like to use a command that itself takes flags or
|
|
different arguments, you can always write a shell script that will take the
|
|
savefile name as the only argument, make the flags & arguments arrangements
|
|
and execute the command that you want.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Z
|

Drops privileges (if root) and changes user ID to
|
|
.I user
|
|
and the group ID to the primary group of
|
|
.IR user .
|
|
.IP
|
|
This behavior can also be enabled by default at compile time.
|
|
.IP "\fI expression\fP"
|
|
.RS
|
|
selects which packets will be dumped.
|
|
If no \fIexpression\fP
|
|
is given, all packets on the net will be dumped.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
only packets for which \fIexpression\fP is `true' will be dumped.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The \fIexpression\fP consists of one or more
|
|
.I primitives.
|
|
Primitives usually consist of an
|
|
.I id
|
|
(name or number) preceded by one or more qualifiers.
|
|
There are three
|
|
different kinds of qualifier:
|
|
.IP \fItype\fP
|
|
qualifiers say what kind of thing the id name or number refers to.
|
|
Possible types are
|
|
.BR host ,
|
|
.B net ,
|
|
.B port
|
|
and
|
|
.BR portrange .
|
|
E.g., `host foo', `net 128.3', `port 20', `portrange 6000-6008'.
|
|
If there is no type
|
|
qualifier,
|
|
.B host
|
|
is assumed.
|
|
.IP \fIdir\fP
|
|
qualifiers specify a particular transfer direction to and/or from
|
|
.IR id .
|
|
Possible directions are
|
|
.BR src ,
|
|
.BR dst ,
|
|
.BR "src or dst" ,
|
|
.BR "src and dst" ,
|
|
.BR addr1 ,
|
|
.BR addr2 ,
|
|
.BR addr3 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR addr4 .
|
|
E.g., `src foo', `dst net 128.3', `src or dst port ftp-data'.
|
|
If
|
|
there is no dir qualifier,
|
|
.B "src or dst"
|
|
is assumed.
|
|
The
|
|
.BR addr1 ,
|
|
.BR addr2 ,
|
|
.BR addr3 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B addr4
|
|
qualifiers are only valid for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN link layers.
|
|
For some link layers, such as SLIP and the ``cooked'' Linux capture mode
|
|
used for the ``any'' device and for some other device types, the
|
|
.B inbound
|
|
and
|
|
.B outbound
|
|
qualifiers can be used to specify a desired direction.
|
|
.IP \fIproto\fP
|
|
qualifiers restrict the match to a particular protocol.
|
|
Possible
|
|
protos are:
|
|
.BR ether ,
|
|
.BR fddi ,
|
|
.BR tr ,
|
|
.BR wlan ,
|
|
.BR ip ,
|
|
.BR ip6 ,
|
|
.BR arp ,
|
|
.BR rarp ,
|
|
.BR decnet ,
|
|
.B tcp
|
|
and
|
|
.BR udp .
|
|
E.g., `ether src foo', `arp net 128.3', `tcp port 21', `udp portrange
|
|
7000-7009', `wlan addr2 0:2:3:4:5:6'.
|
|
If there is
|
|
no proto qualifier, all protocols consistent with the type are
|
|
assumed.
|
|
E.g., `src foo' means `(ip or arp or rarp) src foo'
|
|
(except the latter is not legal syntax), `net bar' means `(ip or
|
|
arp or rarp) net bar' and `port 53' means `(tcp or udp) port 53'.
|
|
.LP
|
|
[`fddi' is actually an alias for `ether'; the parser treats them
|
|
identically as meaning ``the data link level used on the specified
|
|
network interface.'' FDDI headers contain Ethernet-like source
|
|
and destination addresses, and often contain Ethernet-like packet
|
|
types, so you can filter on these FDDI fields just as with the
|
|
analogous Ethernet fields.
|
|
FDDI headers also contain other fields,
|
|
but you cannot name them explicitly in a filter expression.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Similarly, `tr' and `wlan' are aliases for `ether'; the previous
|
|
paragraph's statements about FDDI headers also apply to Token Ring
|
|
and 802.11 wireless LAN headers. For 802.11 headers, the destination
|
|
address is the DA field and the source address is the SA field; the
|
|
BSSID, RA, and TA fields aren't tested.]
|
|
.LP
|
|
In addition to the above, there are some special `primitive' keywords
|
|
that don't follow the pattern:
|
|
.BR gateway ,
|
|
.BR broadcast ,
|
|
.BR less ,
|
|
.B greater
|
|
and arithmetic expressions.
|
|
All of these are described below.
|
|
.LP
|
|
More complex filter expressions are built up by using the words
|
|
.BR and ,
|
|
.B or
|
|
and
|
|
.B not
|
|
to combine primitives.
|
|
E.g., `host foo and not port ftp and not port ftp-data'.
|
|
To save typing, identical qualifier lists can be omitted.
|
|
E.g.,
|
|
`tcp dst port ftp or ftp-data or domain' is exactly the same as
|
|
`tcp dst port ftp or tcp dst port ftp-data or tcp dst port domain'.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Allowable primitives are:
|
|
.IP "\fBdst host \fIhost\fR"
|
|
True if the IPv4/v6 destination field of the packet is \fIhost\fP,
|
|
which may be either an address or a name.
|
|
.IP "\fBsrc host \fIhost\fR"
|
|
True if the IPv4/v6 source field of the packet is \fIhost\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBhost \fIhost\fP
|
|
True if either the IPv4/v6 source or destination of the packet is \fIhost\fP.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Any of the above host expressions can be prepended with the keywords,
|
|
\fBip\fP, \fBarp\fP, \fBrarp\fP, or \fBip6\fP as in:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBip host \fIhost\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
which is equivalent to:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBether proto \fI\\ip\fB and host \fIhost\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
If \fIhost\fR is a name with multiple IP addresses, each address will
|
|
be checked for a match.
|
|
.IP "\fBether dst \fIehost\fP
|
|
True if the Ethernet destination address is \fIehost\fP.
|
|
\fIEhost\fP
|
|
may be either a name from /etc/ethers or a number (see
|
|
.IR ethers (3N)
|
|
for numeric format).
|
|
.IP "\fBether src \fIehost\fP
|
|
True if the Ethernet source address is \fIehost\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBether host \fIehost\fP
|
|
True if either the Ethernet source or destination address is \fIehost\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBgateway\fP \fIhost\fP
|
|
True if the packet used \fIhost\fP as a gateway.
|
|
I.e., the Ethernet
|
|
source or destination address was \fIhost\fP but neither the IP source
|
|
nor the IP destination was \fIhost\fP.
|
|
\fIHost\fP must be a name and
|
|
must be found both by the machine's host-name-to-IP-address resolution
|
|
mechanisms (host name file, DNS, NIS, etc.) and by the machine's
|
|
host-name-to-Ethernet-address resolution mechanism (/etc/ethers, etc.).
|
|
(An equivalent expression is
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBether host \fIehost \fBand not host \fIhost\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
which can be used with either names or numbers for \fIhost / ehost\fP.)
|
|
This syntax does not work in IPv6-enabled configuration at this moment.
|
|
.IP "\fBdst net \fInet\fR"
|
|
True if the IPv4/v6 destination address of the packet has a network
|
|
number of \fInet\fP.
|
|
\fINet\fP may be either a name from the networks database
|
|
(/etc/networks, etc.) or a network number.
|
|
An IPv4 network number can be written as a dotted quad (e.g., 192.168.1.0),
|
|
dotted triple (e.g., 192.168.1), dotted pair (e.g, 172.16), or single
|
|
number (e.g., 10); the netmask is 255.255.255.255 for a dotted quad
|
|
(which means that it's really a host match), 255.255.255.0 for a dotted
|
|
triple, 255.255.0.0 for a dotted pair, or 255.0.0.0 for a single number.
|
|
An IPv6 network number must be written out fully; the netmask is
|
|
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, so IPv6 "network" matches are really always
|
|
host matches, and a network match requires a netmask length.
|
|
.IP "\fBsrc net \fInet\fR"
|
|
True if the IPv4/v6 source address of the packet has a network
|
|
number of \fInet\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBnet \fInet\fR"
|
|
True if either the IPv4/v6 source or destination address of the packet has a network
|
|
number of \fInet\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBnet \fInet\fR \fBmask \fInetmask\fR"
|
|
True if the IPv4 address matches \fInet\fR with the specific \fInetmask\fR.
|
|
May be qualified with \fBsrc\fR or \fBdst\fR.
|
|
Note that this syntax is not valid for IPv6 \fInet\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fBnet \fInet\fR/\fIlen\fR"
|
|
True if the IPv4/v6 address matches \fInet\fR with a netmask \fIlen\fR
|
|
bits wide.
|
|
May be qualified with \fBsrc\fR or \fBdst\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fBdst port \fIport\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is ip/tcp, ip/udp, ip6/tcp or ip6/udp and has a
|
|
destination port value of \fIport\fP.
|
|
The \fIport\fP can be a number or a name used in /etc/services (see
|
|
.IR tcp (4P)
|
|
and
|
|
.IR udp (4P)).
|
|
If a name is used, both the port
|
|
number and protocol are checked.
|
|
If a number or ambiguous name is used,
|
|
only the port number is checked (e.g., \fBdst port 513\fR will print both
|
|
tcp/login traffic and udp/who traffic, and \fBport domain\fR will print
|
|
both tcp/domain and udp/domain traffic).
|
|
.IP "\fBsrc port \fIport\fR"
|
|
True if the packet has a source port value of \fIport\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBport \fIport\fR"
|
|
True if either the source or destination port of the packet is \fIport\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBdst portrange \fIport1\fB-\fIport2\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is ip/tcp, ip/udp, ip6/tcp or ip6/udp and has a
|
|
destination port value between \fIport1\fP and \fIport2\fP.
|
|
.I port1
|
|
and
|
|
.I port2
|
|
are interpreted in the same fashion as the
|
|
.I port
|
|
parameter for
|
|
.BR port .
|
|
.IP "\fBsrc portrange \fIport1\fB-\fIport2\fR"
|
|
True if the packet has a source port value between \fIport1\fP and
|
|
\fIport2\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBportrange \fIport1\fB-\fIport2\fR"
|
|
True if either the source or destination port of the packet is between
|
|
\fIport1\fP and \fIport2\fP.
|
|
.IP
|
|
Any of the above port or port range expressions can be prepended with
|
|
the keywords, \fBtcp\fP or \fBudp\fP, as in:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBtcp src port \fIport\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
which matches only tcp packets whose source port is \fIport\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBless \fIlength\fR"
|
|
True if the packet has a length less than or equal to \fIlength\fP.
|
|
This is equivalent to:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBlen <= \fIlength\fP.
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
.IP "\fBgreater \fIlength\fR"
|
|
True if the packet has a length greater than or equal to \fIlength\fP.
|
|
This is equivalent to:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBlen >= \fIlength\fP.
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
.IP "\fBip proto \fIprotocol\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an IPv4 packet (see
|
|
.IR ip (4P))
|
|
of protocol type \fIprotocol\fP.
|
|
\fIProtocol\fP can be a number or one of the names
|
|
\fBicmp\fP, \fBicmp6\fP, \fBigmp\fP, \fBigrp\fP, \fBpim\fP, \fBah\fP,
|
|
\fBesp\fP, \fBvrrp\fP, \fBudp\fP, or \fBtcp\fP.
|
|
Note that the identifiers \fBtcp\fP, \fBudp\fP, and \fBicmp\fP are also
|
|
keywords and must be escaped via backslash (\\), which is \\\\ in the C-shell.
|
|
Note that this primitive does not chase the protocol header chain.
|
|
.IP "\fBip6 proto \fIprotocol\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an IPv6 packet of protocol type \fIprotocol\fP.
|
|
Note that this primitive does not chase the protocol header chain.
|
|
.IP "\fBip6 protochain \fIprotocol\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is IPv6 packet,
|
|
and contains protocol header with type \fIprotocol\fR
|
|
in its protocol header chain.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBip6 protochain 6\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
matches any IPv6 packet with TCP protocol header in the protocol header chain.
|
|
The packet may contain, for example,
|
|
authentication header, routing header, or hop-by-hop option header,
|
|
between IPv6 header and TCP header.
|
|
The BPF code emitted by this primitive is complex and
|
|
cannot be optimized by BPF optimizer code in \fItcpdump\fP,
|
|
so this can be somewhat slow.
|
|
.IP "\fBip protochain \fIprotocol\fR"
|
|
Equivalent to \fBip6 protochain \fIprotocol\fR, but this is for IPv4.
|
|
.IP "\fBether broadcast\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an Ethernet broadcast packet.
|
|
The \fIether\fP
|
|
keyword is optional.
|
|
.IP "\fBip broadcast\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an IPv4 broadcast packet.
|
|
It checks for both the all-zeroes and all-ones broadcast conventions,
|
|
and looks up the subnet mask on the interface on which the capture is
|
|
being done.
|
|
.IP
|
|
If the subnet mask of the interface on which the capture is being done
|
|
is not available, either because the interface on which capture is being
|
|
done has no netmask or because the capture is being done on the Linux
|
|
"any" interface, which can capture on more than one interface, this
|
|
check will not work correctly.
|
|
.IP "\fBether multicast\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an Ethernet multicast packet.
|
|
The \fBether\fP
|
|
keyword is optional.
|
|
This is shorthand for `\fBether[0] & 1 != 0\fP'.
|
|
.IP "\fBip multicast\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an IPv4 multicast packet.
|
|
.IP "\fBip6 multicast\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an IPv6 multicast packet.
|
|
.IP "\fBether proto \fIprotocol\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is of ether type \fIprotocol\fR.
|
|
\fIProtocol\fP can be a number or one of the names
|
|
\fBip\fP, \fBip6\fP, \fBarp\fP, \fBrarp\fP, \fBatalk\fP, \fBaarp\fP,
|
|
\fBdecnet\fP, \fBsca\fP, \fBlat\fP, \fBmopdl\fP, \fBmoprc\fP,
|
|
\fBiso\fP, \fBstp\fP, \fBipx\fP, or \fBnetbeui\fP.
|
|
Note these identifiers are also keywords

[In the case of FDDI (e.g., `\fBfddi protocol arp\fR'), Token Ring

\fIProto\fR is one of \fBether, fddi, tr, wlan, ppp, slip, link,

indicates the protocol layer for the index operation.
|
|
(\fBether, fddi, wlan, tr, ppp, slip\fR and \fBlink\fR all refer to the

|
link layer. \fBradio\fR refers to the "radio header" added to some
|
|
802.11 captures.)
|
|
Note that \fItcp, udp\fR and other upper-layer protocol types only

|
apply to IPv4, not IPv6 (this will be fixed in the future).

The byte offset, relative to the indicated protocol layer, is

given by \fIexpr\fR.

\fISize\fR is optional and indicates the number of bytes in the
|
|
field of interest; it can be either one, two, or four, and defaults to one.
|
|
The length operator, indicated by the keyword \fBlen\fP, gives the
|
|
length of the packet.
|
|
|
|
For example, `\fBether[0] & 1 != 0\fP' catches all multicast traffic.
|
|
The expression `\fBip[0] & 0xf != 5\fP'
|
|
catches all IPv4 packets with options.
|
|
The expression
|
|
`\fBip[6:2] & 0x1fff = 0\fP'
|
|
catches only unfragmented IPv4 datagrams and frag zero of fragmented
|
|
IPv4 datagrams.
|
|
This check is implicitly applied to the \fBtcp\fP and \fBudp\fP
|
|
index operations.
|
|
For instance, \fBtcp[0]\fP always means the first
|
|
byte of the TCP \fIheader\fP, and never means the first byte of an
|
|
intervening fragment.

On Ethernets, the source and destination addresses, protocol,

On FDDI networks, the '-e' option causes \fItcpdump\fP to print

the `frame control' field, the source and destination addresses,

|
|
(The `frame control' field governs the

interpretation of the rest of the packet.

Normal packets (such

as those containing IP datagrams) are `async' packets, with a priority
|
|
value between 0 and 7; for example, `\fBasync4\fR'.

Such packets

are assumed to contain an 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) packet;

the LLC header is printed if it is \fInot\fR an ISO datagram or a

On Token Ring networks, the '-e' option causes \fItcpdump\fP to print
|

the `access control' and `frame control' fields, the source and

destination addresses, and the packet length.
|
|
As on FDDI networks,
|

packets are assumed to contain an LLC packet.

Regardless of whether

the '-e' option is specified or not, the source routing information is

printed for source-routed packets.

On 802.11 networks, the '-e' option causes \fItcpdump\fP to print

On SLIP links, a direction indicator (``I'' for inbound, ``O'' for outbound),
|
|
packet type, and compression information are printed out.
|
|
The packet type is printed first.
|
|
The three types are \fIip\fP, \fIutcp\fP, and \fIctcp\fP.
|
|
No further link information is printed for \fIip\fR packets.
|
|
For TCP packets, the connection identifier is printed following the type.
|
|
If the packet is compressed, its encoded header is printed out.
|
|
The special cases are printed out as
|
|
\fB*S+\fIn\fR and \fB*SA+\fIn\fR, where \fIn\fR is the amount by which
|
|
the sequence number (or sequence number and ack) has changed.
|
|
If it is not a special case,
|
|
zero or more changes are printed.
|
|
A change is indicated by U (urgent pointer), W (window), A (ack),
|
|
S (sequence number), and I (packet ID), followed by a delta (+n or -n),
|
|
or a new value (=n).
|

Finally, the amount of data in the packet and compressed header length
|

are printed.

The first line says that tcp port 1023 on rtsg sent a packet

The \fBS\fP indicates that the \fISYN\fP flag was set.

up to but not including \fIlast\fP which is \fInbytes\fP bytes of user data'.)

Csam replies with a similar packet except it includes a piggy-backed
|
|
ack for rtsg's SYN.
|
|
Rtsg then acks csam's SYN.
|
|
The `.' means no
|
|
flags were set.
|
|
The packet contained no data so there is no data sequence number.
|
|
Note that the ack sequence
|
|
number is a small integer (1).
|
|
The first time \fItcpdump\fP sees a
|
|
tcp `conversation', it prints the sequence number from the packet.
|
|
On subsequent packets of the conversation, the difference between
|
|
the current packet's sequence number and this initial sequence number
|
|
is printed.
|
|
This means that sequence numbers after the
|
|
first can be interpreted
|
|
as relative byte positions in the conversation's data stream (with the
|
|
first data byte each direction being `1').
|
|
`-S' will override this

feature, causing the original sequence numbers to be output.

On the 6th line, rtsg sends csam 19 bytes of data (bytes 2 through 20

The PUSH flag is set in the packet.

|
On the 7th line, csam says it's received data sent by rtsg up to

|
but not including byte 21.
|
|
Most of this data is apparently sitting in the
|
|
socket buffer since csam's receive window has gotten 19 bytes smaller.
|
|
Csam also sends one byte of data to rtsg in this packet.

On the 8th and 9th lines,

csam sends two bytes of urgent, pushed data to rtsg.

If the snapshot was small enough that \fItcpdump\fP didn't capture
|
|
the full TCP header, it interprets as much of the header as it can
|

and then reports ``[|\fItcp\fP]'' to indicate the remainder could not
|
|
be interpreted.
|

If the header contains a bogus option (one with a length
|
|
that's either too small or beyond the end of the header), \fItcpdump\fP
|
|
reports it as ``[\fIbad opt\fP]'' and does not interpret any further
|
|
options (since it's impossible to tell where they start).

|
If the header

length indicates options are present but the IP datagram length is not

it as ``[\fIbad hdr length\fP]''.

The expression says "let the 13th octet of a TCP datagram have
|
|
the decimal value 2", which is exactly what we want.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Now, let's assume that we need to capture SYN packets, but we
|
|
don't care if ACK or any other TCP control bit is set at the
|
|
same time.
|
|
Let's see what happens to octet 13 when a TCP datagram
|
|
with SYN-ACK set arrives:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
|C|E|U|A|P|R|S|F|
|
|
|---------------|
|
|
|0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0|
|
|
|---------------|
|
|
|7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0|
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
Now bits 1 and 4 are set in the 13th octet.
|
|
The binary value of
|
|
octet 13 is
|
|
.IP
|
|
00010010
|
|
.PP
|
|
which translates to decimal
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
|
|
0*2 + 0*2 + 0*2 + 1*2 + 0*2 + 0*2 + 1*2 + 0*2 = 18
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
Now we can't just use 'tcp[13] == 18' in the \fItcpdump\fP filter
|
|
expression, because that would select only those packets that have
|
|
SYN-ACK set, but not those with only SYN set.
|
|
Remember that we don't care
|
|
if ACK or any other control bit is set as long as SYN is set.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In order to achieve our goal, we need to logically AND the
|
|
binary value of octet 13 with some other value to preserve
|
|
the SYN bit.
|
|
We know that we want SYN to be set in any case,
|
|
so we'll logically AND the value in the 13th octet with
|
|
the binary value of a SYN:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
00010010 SYN-ACK 00000010 SYN
|
|
AND 00000010 (we want SYN) AND 00000010 (we want SYN)
|
|
-------- --------
|
|
= 00000010 = 00000010
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
We see that this AND operation delivers the same result
|
|
regardless whether ACK or another TCP control bit is set.
|
|
The decimal representation of the AND value as well as
|
|
the result of this operation is 2 (binary 00000010),
|
|
so we know that for packets with SYN set the following
|
|
relation must hold true:
|
|
.IP
|
|
( ( value of octet 13 ) AND ( 2 ) ) == ( 2 )
|
|
.PP
|
|
This points us to the \fItcpdump\fP filter expression

tcpdump -i xl0 'tcp[13] & 2 == 2'

Jssmag.209 initiates transaction id 12266 with host helios by requesting
|
|
up to 8 packets (the `<0-7>').
|
|
The hex number at the end of the line
|
|
is the value of the `userdata' field in the request.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Helios responds with 8 512-byte packets.
|
|
The `:digit' following the
|
|
transaction id gives the packet sequence number in the transaction
|
|
and the number in parens is the amount of data in the packet,
|
|
excluding the atp header.
|
|
The `*' on packet 7 indicates that the
|
|
EOM bit was set.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Jssmag.209 then requests that packets 3 & 5 be retransmitted.
|
|
Helios
|
|
resends them then jssmag.209 releases the transaction.
|
|
Finally,
|
|
jssmag.209 initiates the next request.
|
|
The `*' on the request
|
|
indicates that XO (`exactly once') was \fInot\fP set.

IP Fragmentation

Fragmented Internet datagrams are printed as

(The first form indicates there are more fragments.
|
|
The second
|
|
indicates this is the last fragment.)
|
|
.LP
|
|
\fIId\fP is the fragment id.
|
|
\fISize\fP is the fragment
|
|
size (in bytes) excluding the IP header.
|
|
\fIOffset\fP is this
|
|
fragment's offset (in bytes) in the original datagram.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The fragment information is output for each fragment.
|
|
The first
|
|
fragment contains the higher level protocol header and the frag
|
|
info is printed after the protocol info.
|
|
Fragments
|
|
after the first contain no higher level protocol header and the
|
|
frag info is printed after the source and destination addresses.
|
|
For example, here is part of an ftp from arizona.edu to lbl-rtsg.arpa
|
|
over a CSNET connection that doesn't appear to handle 576 byte datagrams:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.nf
|

.sp .5
|

\s-2\f(CWarizona.ftp-data > rtsg.1170: . 1024:1332(308) ack 1 win 4096 (frag 595a:328@0+)
|
|
arizona > rtsg: (frag 595a:204@328)

There are a couple of things to note here: First, addresses in the
|
|
2nd line don't include port numbers.
|
|
This is because the TCP
|
|
protocol information is all in the first fragment and we have no idea
|
|
what the port or sequence numbers are when we print the later fragments.
|
|
Second, the tcp sequence information in the first line is printed as if there
|
|
were 308 bytes of user data when, in fact, there are 512 bytes (308 in
|
|
the first frag and 204 in the second).
|
|
If you are looking for holes
|
|
in the sequence space or trying to match up acks
|
|
with packets, this can fool you.

Timestamps
|
|
.LP
|
|
By default, all output lines are preceded by a timestamp.
|
|
The timestamp
|
|
is the current clock time in the form

and is as accurate as the kernel's clock.
|
|
The timestamp reflects the time the kernel first saw the packet.
|
|
No attempt
|
|
is made to account for the time lag between when the
|
|
Ethernet interface removed the packet from the wire and when the kernel
|
|
serviced the `new packet' interrupt.

On Linux systems with 2.0[.x] kernels:
|
|
.IP
|
|
packets on the loopback device will be seen twice;
|
|
.IP
|
|
packet filtering cannot be done in the kernel, so that all packets must
|
|
be copied from the kernel in order to be filtered in user mode;
|
|
.IP
|
|
all of a packet, not just the part that's within the snapshot length,
|
|
will be copied from the kernel (the 2.0[.x] packet capture mechanism, if
|
|
asked to copy only part of a packet to userland, will not report the
|
|
true length of the packet; this would cause most IP packets to get an
|
|
error from
|
|
.BR tcpdump );
|

.IP
|

capturing on some PPP devices won't work correctly.
