Traffic
Capture
Traffic Capture uses the tool
tcpdump
to perform network traffic captures and generate a widely compatible .cap
file.
A series of rotating capture files will be generated to prevent exhausting local resources and all may be
downloaded for post-capture analysis in the viewer of your choice. Capturing the most relevant information may
require trial and error to obtain the best filter for specific investigations.
Interface:
Select which interface is to be used to generate the capture file.
Packet Length:
Select which type of packet to be created. The recommended setting for this option is
Truncated
unless a deep packet inspection is required.
Truncated:
If this option is selected, the packet headers and the first few bytes of the start of the data
packet will be included. Use this option to trace network and connection behavior.
Maximum:
If
Maximum
is selected, the entire packet, with its contents, will be captured. Use this option to
investigate the contents of the data exchange, such as Serial IP packets.
Capture (.cap) File Size:
Cap files are generated on a rotating basis. This sets the maximum size for each of
three individual files. The recommended setting for this field is
Normal
to ensure a minimal amount of system
resources are used.
Normal:
1 Megabyte
Large:
3 Megabytes
Maximum:
1/6 system memory
Filter:
Create filters by typing the options listed below. The recommended setting for this field is
port not
10000
.
To ignore browser traffic while capturing:
