The host (seen below) receives DNS requests from another host on the same network. It has port UDP/53 closed, still the packets are displayed by Wireshark.
Indeed, the are requests sent to 192.168.16.2 on port UDP/53, so the expression should be right:
tcpdump -v -s0 udp and dst port 53 and dst 192.168.16.2
If I do:
tcpdump -v -s0 udp
the DNS requests aren't displayed either.
Why doesn't tcpdump display the DNS requests, and how can I make it display them?
If your machine has several network interfaces, then you also need to set the interface to listen on using the -i option.
Your expression would then read:
tcpdump -v -s0 -i eth1 udp and dst port 53 and dst 192.168.16.2

In my Linux device port 5080 is open which accepts all packets. I want to block only telnet packets.
I tried to add iptable rule but i am not sure how to specifically mention telnet packets only because adding iptable rule with protocol tcp blocks all the tcp packets and telnet but I want to block only telnet packets.
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 5080 -j DROP
I don't think you can do that with iptables.
You'll need some application layer aware IPS (maybe suricata?)
I am capturing network traffic by using tcpdump. The problem is: I can't see all capture data when the package is too long. For example, when the tcp frame length is more than 500, I just see 100-200 or less. How to display all frame data(500+)?
I have tried add -vv and -vvv parameter. This is my current command:
tcpdump -i eth1 tcp and host 10.27.13.14 and port 6973 -vv -X -c 1000
Add -s0 parameter:
tcpdump -i eth1 tcp and host 10.27.13.14 and port 6973 -s0 -vv -X -c 1000
I have a server with multiple network interfaces.
I'm trying to run a network monitoring tools in order to verify network traffic statistics by using the sFlow standard on a router.
I get my sFlow datagram on port 5600 of eth1 interface. I'm able to see the generated traffic thanks to tcpdump:
user#lnssrv:~$ sudo tcpdump -i eth1

It seems all ok, but, when i try to read the packet with netcat it seems that there are no packets here:
nc -lu 5600
Indeed, sflowtool nor nprobe doesn't read anything from port 5600.
Where I'm wrong?
nc -lu 5600 is going to open a socket on port 5600, meaning that it will only dump packages that are received in that socket, i.e, packages aiming to that specific address and port.
On the other side, tcpdump collects all the traffic flowing, even without it being sent to a specific server.
Two causes of your problem here:
a) Your host IP is not 198.51.100.232
With host command you will be able exactly see TCP traffic of your server
for example : tcpdump -i eth1 host 198.51.100.232 port 80
b) There is another server that is listening in UDP port 5600 that is grabbing all the data, so, nothing is leftover for nc socket.
Notice: with TCPDUMP you will not be able to check and listen UDP ports.
Not sure that it can help here but in my case it helped ( I had similar problem ) so i just stopped "iptables" like
service iptables stop.
It seems that tcpdump works on the lower level than iptable and ipdaple can stop datagrams from being proceed to the higher level. Here a good article on this topic with nice picture.
I have been using wire-shark to analyse the packets of socket programs, Now i want to see the traffic of other hosts traffic, as i found that i need to use monitor mode that is only supported in Linux platform, so i tried but i couldn't capture any packets that is transferred in my network, listing as 0 packets captured.
Scenario:
I'm having a network consisting of 50+ hosts (all are powered by windows Except mine), my IP address is 192.168.1.10, when i initiate a communication between any 192.168.1.xx it showing the captured traffic.
But my requirement is to monitor the traffic of 192.168.1.21 b/w 192.168.1.22 from my host i,e. from 192.168.1.10.
1: is it possible to capture the traffic as i mentioned?
2: If it is possible then is wire-shark is right tool for it (or should i have to use differnt one)?
3: if it is not possible, then why?
Just adapt this a bit with your own filters and ips : (on local host)
ssh -l root <REMOTE HOST> tshark -w - not tcp port 22 | wireshark -k -i -
or using bash :
wireshark -k -i <(ssh -l root <REMOTE HOST> tshark -w - not tcp port 22)
You can use tcpdump instead of tshark if needed :
ssh -l root <REMOTE HOST> tcpdump -U -s0 -w - -i eth0 'port 22' |
wireshark -k -i -
You are connected to a switch which is "switching" traffic. It bases the traffic you see on your mac address. It will NOT send you traffic that is not destined to your mac address. If you want to monitor all the traffic you need to configure your switch to use a "port mirror" and plug your sniffer into that port. There is no software that you can install on your machine that will circumvent the way network switching works.

Running linux ubuntu.
Essentially, why is this command a syntax error: -
tcpdump -i eth0 -n udp -X -v -s 1514 'tcp[40:4] = 0x31323334'
Which should show udp packets with '1234' at the 40th byte.
I mean, I get that udp isn't a tcp packet, but the logic should still work. Given it doesn't how can I write this?
try the following:
tcpdump -i eth0 -X -v -s 1514 'udp[40:4] = 0x31323334'
Afaik, proto relop filters should match only the protocol you specify, -n udp should not be needed.
tcpdump is confused what to take as filtering parameter. When you've explicitly used udp, then it captures all the udp packets or if you want particular udp packet then you can specify the offset. So, based on what you need either specify udp with offset or simply udp if you want to capture all the udp packets. Something like below should meet your requirement:
tcpdump -i eth0 -n -X -v -s 1514 'udp[40:4] = 0x31323334'
