The primary goal for this paper is to explain packet sniffing using tcpdump.
A short general explanation of how data is transmitted over a network will be
covered as well as some important reasons a person may want to sniff network
traffic. We will cover what packet sniffing is at an introductory level as well as
where to find further resources for additional study. Two installation scenarios will
be demonstrated in a systematic fashion. Different methods of sniffing traffic will
be shown as well as how to analyze the data packets that have been captured.
Practical examples with real data are used to demonstrate types of traffic that
can be captured and analyzed on a network. This is will solidify a basic
understanding of packet sniffing. A light introduction to other applications for
sniffing traffic will be provided as well. Other applications will be covered at a
higher level with enough detail to entice the reader to investigate and experiment.
