2. TCPDUMP SYNTAX

Syntax:

Protocol

Direction

Host(s)

Value

Logical Operations

Other expression

Example:

tcp

dst

10.1.1.1

80

and

tcp dst 10.2.2.2 3128

 

 

Protocol:
Values: ether, fddi, ip, arp, rarp, decnet, lat, sca, moprc, mopdl, tcp and udp.
If no protocol is specified, all the protocols are used.


Direction:
Values: src, dst, src and dst, src or dst
If no source or destination is specified, the "src or dst" keywords are applied.
For example, "host 10.2.2.2" is equivalent to "src or dst host 10.2.2.2".


Host(s):
Values: net, port, host, portrange.
If no host(s) is specified, the "host" keyword is used.
For example, "src 10.1.1.1" is equivalent to "src host 10.1.1.1".


Logical Operations:
Values: not, and, or.
Negation ("not") has highest precedence. Alternation ("or") and concatenation ("and") have equal precedence and associate left to right.
For example,
"not tcp port 3128 and tcp port 23" is equivalent to "(not tcp port 3128) and tcp port 23".
"not tcp port 3128 and tcp port 23" is NOT equivalent to "not (tcp port 3128 and tcp port 23)".
