Dumpcap (Wireshark) 2.5.0 (v2.5.0rc0-1220-g23e2b1f9) Capture network packets and dump them into a pcapng or pcap file. See https://www.wireshark.org for more information. Usage: dumpcap [options] ... Capture interface: -i name or idx of interface (def: first non-loopback), or for remote capturing, use one of these formats: rpcap:/// TCP@: -f packet filter in libpcap filter syntax -s packet snapshot length (def: appropriate maximum) -p don't capture in promiscuous mode -I capture in monitor mode, if available -B size of kernel buffer in MiB (def: 2MiB) -y link layer type (def: first appropriate) --time-stamp-type timestamp method for interface -D print list of interfaces and exit -L print list of link-layer types of iface and exit --list-time-stamp-types print list of timestamp types for iface and exit -d print generated BPF code for capture filter -k set channel on wifi interface: ,[],[],[] -S print statistics for each interface once per second -M for -D, -L, and -S, produce machine-readable output Stop conditions: -c stop after n packets (def: infinite) -a ... duration:NUM - stop after NUM seconds filesize:NUM - stop this file after NUM KB files:NUM - stop after NUM files Output (files): -w name of file to save (def: tempfile) -g enable group read access on the output file(s) -b ... duration:NUM - switch to next file after NUM secs interval:NUM - create time intervals of NUM secs filesize:NUM - switch to next file after NUM KB files:NUM - ringbuffer: replace after NUM files -n use pcapng format instead of pcap (default) -P use libpcap format instead of pcapng --capture-comment add a capture comment to the output file (only for pcapng) Miscellaneous: -N maximum number of packets buffered within dumpcap -C maximum number of bytes used for buffering packets within dumpcap -t use a separate thread per interface -q don't report packet capture counts -v print version information and exit -h display this help and exit WARNING: dumpcap will enable kernel BPF JIT compiler if available. You might want to reset it By doing "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable" Example: dumpcap -i eth0 -a duration:60 -w output.pcapng "Capture packets from interface eth0 until 60s passed into output.pcapng" Use Ctrl-C to stop capturing at any time.
