#Basic communication
#Just see what’s going on, by looking at what’s hitting your inteface.
#Or get all interfaces with -i any.

tcpdump -i eth0

#Expression Types:
#host, net, and port.
#Directions:
#src and dst.
#Types:
#host, net, and port.
#Protocols:
#tcp, udp, icmp, and many more.

#find traffic by ip
#One of the most common queries, using host, you can see traffic that’s going to or from 1.1.1.1.

tcpdump host 1.1.1.1

#ONE PACKET TO 1.1.1.1

#filtering by source and/or destination
#If you only want to see traffic in one direction or the other, you can use src and dst.

tcpdump src 1.1.1.1 
tcpdump dst 1.0.0.1

#finding packets by network
#To find packets going to or from a particular network or subnet, use the net option.

#You can combine this with the src and dst options as well.
tcpdump net 1.2.3.0/24

#get packet contents with hex output
#Hex output is useful when you want to see the content of the packets in question, and it’s often best used when you’re isolating a few #candidates for closer scrutiny.

tcpdump -c 1 -X icmp

#A SINGLE ICMP PACKET VISIBLE IN HEX

#show traffic related to a specific port
#You can find specific port traffic by using the port option followed by the port number.

tcpdump port 3389 
tcpdump src port 1025

#show traffic of one protocol
#If you’re looking for one particular kind of traffic, you can use tcp, udp, icmp, and many others as well.

tcpdump icmp

#show only ip6 traffic
#You can also find all IP6 traffic using the protocol option.

tcpdump ip6

#find traffic using port ranges
#You can also use a range of ports to find traffic.

tcpdump portrange 21-23

#find traffic based on packet size
#If you’re looking for packets of a particular size you can use these options. You can use less, greater, or their associated symbols #that you would expect from mathematics.

tcpdump less 32 
tcpdump greater 64 
tcpdump <= 128

#reading / writing captures to a file
#It’s often useful to save packet captures into a file for analysis in the future. These files are known as PCAP (PEE-cap) files, and #they can be processed by hundreds of different applications, including network analyzers, intrusion detection systems, and of course #by tcpdump itself. Here we’re writing to a file called capture_file using the -w switch.

tcpdump port 80 -w capture_file

#You can read PCAP files by using the -r switch. Note that you can use all the regular commands within tcpdump while reading in a file; #you’re only limited by the fact that you can’t capture and process what doesn’t exist in the file already.

tcpdump -r capture_file

#Advanced
#Now that we’ve seen what we can do with the basics through some examples, let’s look at some more advanced stuff.

#More options
#Here are some additional ways to tweak how you call tcpdump.

#-X : Show the packet’s contents in both hex and ascii.
#-XX : Same as -X, but also shows the ethernet header.
#-D : Show the list of available interfaces
#-l : Line-readable output (for viewing as you save, or sending to other commands)
#-q : Be less verbose (more quiet) with your output.
#-t : Give human-readable timestamp output.
#-tttt : Give maximally human-readable timestamp output.
#-i eth0 : Listen on the eth0 interface.
#-vv : Verbose output (more v’s gives more output).
#-c : Only get x number of packets and then stop.
#-s : Define the snaplength (size) of the capture in bytes. Use -s0 to get everything, unless you are intentionally capturing less.
#-S : Print absolute sequence numbers.
#-e : Get the ethernet header as well.
#-q : Show less protocol information.
#-E : Decrypt IPSEC traffic by providing an encryption key.

#AND 
#and or &&
#OR 
#or or ||
#EXCEPT 
#not or !

#raw output view
#Use this combination to see verbose output, with no resolution of hostnames or port numbers, using absolute sequence numbers, and #showing human-readable timestamps.

tcpdump -ttnnvvS

#from specific ip and destined for a specific port
#Let’s find all traffic from 10.5.2.3 going to any host on port 3389.

tcpdump -nnvvS src 10.5.2.3 and dst port 3389

#from one network to another
#Let’s look for all traffic coming from 192.168.x.x and going to the 10.x or 172.16.x.x networks, and we’re showing hex output with no #hostname resolution and one level of extra verbosity.

tcpdump -nvX src net 192.168.0.0/16 and dst net 10.0.0.0/8 or 172.16.0.0/16

#non icmp traffic going to a specific ip
#This will show us all traffic going to 192.168.0.2 that is not ICMP.

tcpdump dst 192.168.0.2 and src net and not icmp

#traffic from a host that isn’t on a specific port
#This will show us all traffic from a host that isn’t SSH traffic (assuming default port usage).

tcpdump -vv src mars and not dst port 22

#As you can see, you can build queries to find just about anything you need. The key is to first figure out precisely what you’re #looking for and then to build the syntax to isolate that specific type of traffic.

#Keep in mind that when you’re building complex queries you might have to group your options using single quotes. Single quotes are #used in order to tell tcpdump to ignore certain special characters—in this case below the “( )” brackets. This same technique can be #used to group using other expressions such as host, port, net, etc.

tcpdump 'src 10.0.2.4 and (dst port 3389 or 22)'

#isolate tcp flags
#You can also use filters to isolate packets with specific TCP flags set.

#Isolate TCP RST flags.
#The filters below find these various packets because tcp[13] looks at offset 13 in the TCP header, the number represents the location #within the byte, and the !=0 means that the flag in question is set to 1, i.e. it’s on.
tcpdump 'tcp[13] & 4!=0'
tcpdump 'tcp[tcpflags] == tcp-rst'

#Isolate TCP SYN flags.
tcpdump 'tcp[13] & 2!=0'
tcpdump 'tcp[tcpflags] == tcp-syn'

#Isolate packets that have both the SYN and ACK flags set.
tcpdump 'tcp[13]=18'

#Only the PSH, RST, SYN, and FIN flags are displayed in tcpdump‘s flag field output. URGs and ACKs are displayed, but they are shown #elsewhere in the output rather than in the flags field.
#Isolate TCP URG flags.
tcpdump 'tcp[13] & 32!=0'
tcpdump 'tcp[tcpflags] == tcp-urg'

#Isolate TCP ACK flags.
tcpdump 'tcp[13] & 16!=0'
tcpdump 'tcp[tcpflags] == tcp-ack'

#Isolate TCP PSH flags.
tcpdump 'tcp[13] & 8!=0'
tcpdump 'tcp[tcpflags] == tcp-psh'

#Isolate TCP FIN flags.
tcpdump 'tcp[13] & 1!=0'
tcpdump 'tcp[tcpflags] == tcp-fin'

#Everyday Recipe Examples
#Because tcpdump can output content in ASCII, you can use it to search for cleartext content using other command-line tools like grep.
#Finally, now that we the theory out of the way, here are a number of quick recipes you can use for catching various kinds of traffic.

both syn and rst set
tcpdump 'tcp[13] = 6'

#find http user agents
#The -l switch lets you see the traffic as you’re capturing it, and helps when sending to commands like grep.
tcpdump -vvAls0 | grep 'User-Agent:'

#cleartext get requests
tcpdump -vvAls0 | grep 'GET'

#find http host headers
tcpdump -vvAls0 | grep 'Host:'

#find http cookies
tcpdump -vvAls0 | grep 'Set-Cookie|Host:|Cookie:'

#find ssh connections
#This one works regardless of what port the connection comes in on, because it’s getting the banner response.

tcpdump 'tcp[(tcp[12]>>2):4] = 0x5353482D'

#find dns traffic
tcpdump -vvAs0 port 53

#find ftp traffic
tcpdump -vvAs0 port ftp or ftp-data

#find ntp traffic
tcpdump -vvAs0 port 123

#find cleartext passwords
tcpdump port http or port ftp or port smtp or port imap or port pop3 or port telnet -lA | egrep -i -B5 'pass=|pwd=|log=|login=|user=|username=|pw=|passw=|passwd=|password=|pass:|user:|username:|password:|login:|pass |user '

#find traffic with evil bit
#There’s a bit in the IP header that never gets set by legitimate applications, which we call the “Evil Bit”. Here’s a fun filter to #find packets where it’s been toggled.

tcpdump 'ip[6] & 128 != 0'
