The problem is that were failing to find the correct tcpdump arguments to only capture HTTP post requests (which is needed because a full tcpdump would quickly fill up the disk). Default is eth0, if you not use this option. The idea is to use tcpdump to capture these during a full regression test and then wireshark to get a distinct list of all URIs. i eth0 is using to give Ethernet interface, which you to capture. 65535, after this capture file will not truncate. -Z: drops the privileges of root and changes ownership to the specified user You can use following command to capture the dump in a file: tcpdump -s 0 port ftp or ssh -i eth0 -w mycap.pcap In above command -s 0 will set the capture byte to its maximum i.e.-w: write the raw packets to file rather than parsing and printing them out.this option asks tcpdump to not put interface in promiscuous mode Capturing your traffic with Wireshark Select Capture Interfaces Select the interface on which packets need to be captured. -i: specify the interface to listen on.Setting to 0 is making it use default 65535 It is not a good security practice to run tcpdump with a non-root user because it needs to scan the interface. It is because running tcpdump requires root access on the server. C:\tools\plink.exe -l root -pw rootpassword 192.168.117.12 -P 22 "tcpdump -w -s0 -pi eth0 dst port 9042" |"C:\Program Files\Wireshark\Wireshark.exe" -k -i -īoth tricks above assumes that you have direct root log-in to the server, by RSA key or password.
