tcpdump is a well known command line packet analyzer tool. Using tcpdump command we can capture the live TCP/IP packets and these packets can also be saved to a file. Later on these captured packets can be analyzed via tcpdump command. tcpdump command becomes very handy when it comes to troubleshooting on network level.

tcpdump is available in most of the Linux distributions, for Debian based Linux, it be can be installed using apt command,

# apt install tcpdump -y

On RPM based Linux OS, tcpdump can be installed using below yum command

# yum install tcpdump -y

When we run the tcpdump command without any options then it will capture packets of all the interfaces. So to stop or cancel the tcpdump command, type “ctrl+c” . In this tutorial we will discuss how to capture and analyze packets using different practical examples,

Example:1) Capturing packets from a specific interface

When we run the tcpdump command without any options, it will capture packets on the all interfaces, so to capture the packets from a specific interface use the option ‘-i‘ followed by the interface name.

Syntax :

# tcpdump -i

Let’s assume, i want to capture packets from interface “enp0s3”

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -i enp0s3

Output would be something like below,

tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on enp0s3, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes

^C
109930 packets captured
110065 packets received by filter
133 packets dropped by kernel
[[email protected] ~]#

Example:2) Capturing specific number number of packet from a specific interface

Let’s assume we want to capture 12 packets from the specific interface like “enp0s3”, this can be easily achieved using the options “-c -i ”

[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -c 12 -i enp0s3

Example:3) Display all the available Interfaces for tcpdump

Use ‘-D‘ option to display all the available interfaces for tcpdump command,

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -D
1.enp0s3
2.enp0s8
3.ovs-system
4.br-int
5.br-tun
6.nflog (Linux netfilter log (NFLOG) interface)
7.nfqueue (Linux netfilter queue (NFQUEUE) interface)
8.usbmon1 (USB bus number 1)
9.usbmon2 (USB bus number 2)
10.qbra692e993-28
11.qvoa692e993-28
12.qvba692e993-28
13.tapa692e993-28
14.vxlan_sys_4789
15.any (Pseudo-device that captures on all interfaces)
16.lo [Loopback]
[[email protected] ~]#

I am running the tcpdump command on one of my openstack compute node, that’s why in the output you have seen number interfaces, tab interface, bridges and vxlan interface.

Example:4) Capturing packets with human readable timestamp (-tttt option)

By default in tcpdump command output, there is no proper human readable timestamp, if you want to associate human readable timestamp to each captured packet then use ‘-tttt‘ option, example is shown below,

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -c 8 -tttt -i enp0s3
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on enp0s3, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes

8 packets captured
134 packets received by filter
69 packets dropped by kernel
[[email protected] ~]#

Example:5) Capturing and saving packets to a file (-w option)

Use “-w” option in tcpdump command to save the capture TCP/IP packet to a file, so that we can analyze those packets in the future for further analysis.

Syntax :

# tcpdump -w file_name.pcap -i

Note: Extension of file must be .pcap

Let’s assume i want to save the captured packets of interface “enp0s3” to a file name enp0s3-26082018.pcap

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -w enp0s3-26082018.pcap -i enp0s3

Above command will generate the output something like below,

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -w enp0s3-26082018.pcap -i enp0s3
tcpdump: listening on enp0s3, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes
^C841 packets captured
845 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
[[email protected] ~]# ls
anaconda-ks.cfg enp0s3-26082018.pcap
[[email protected] ~]#

Capturing and Saving the packets whose size greater than N bytes

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -w enp0s3-26082018-2.pcap greater 1024

Capturing and Saving the packets whose size less than N bytes

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -w enp0s3-26082018-3.pcap less 1024

Example:6) Reading packets from the saved file ( -r option)

In the above example we have saved the captured packets to a file, we can read those packets from the file using the option ‘-r‘, example is shown below,

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -r enp0s3-26082018.pcap

Reading the packets with human readable timestamp,

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -tttt -r enp0s3-26082018.pcap

Example:12) Capturing TCP packet communication between two Hosts

Let’s assume i want to capture tcp packets between two hosts 169.144.0.1 & 169.144.0.20, example is shown below,

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -w two-host-tcp-comm.pcap -i enp0s3 tcp and (host 169.144.0.1 or host 169.144.0.20)

Capturing only SSH packet flow between two hosts using tcpdump command,

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -w ssh-comm-two-hosts.pcap -i enp0s3 src 169.144.0.1 and port 22 and dst 169.144.0.20 and port 22

Example:13) Capturing the udp network packets (to & fro) between two hosts

Syntax :

# tcpdump -w -s -i udp and (host and host )

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -w two-host-comm.pcap -s 1000 -i enp0s3 udp and (host 169.144.0.10 and host 169.144.0.20)

Example:14) Capturing packets in HEX and ASCII Format

Using tcpdump command, we can capture tcp/ip packet in ASCII and HEX format,

To capture the packets in ASCII format use -A option, example is shown below,

[[email protected] ~]# tcpdump -c 10 -A -i enp0s3
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on enp0s3, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes

In this tutorial we will guide you how to stay anonymous while hacking online using TOR and Proxychains. Hiding your ass while hacking is easy just require some configuration which we will gonna see in this tutorial. Just follow this as shown.

First thing First!!!!

TOR

Tor is software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy. It gives you access to the dark web.

Dark web is nothing but the encrypted network that exists between tor servers and their clients.

For more detail : https://www.torproject.org/

PROXYCHAINS

A tool that forces any TCP connection made by any given application to follow through proxy like TOR or any other SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or HTTP(S) proxy.

Supported auth-types: “user/pass” for SOCKS4/5, “basic” for HTTP.

Lets start!

STEPS:

1. Open kali linux terminal and type

root@kali:-# sudo apt-get install tor proxychains

root@kali:-# sudo service tor start

root@kali:-# gedit /etc/proxychains.conf

Go to http://proxylist.hidemyass.com/ . Select one ip and add as shown :

root@kali:-# proxychains wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO-

That’s it! Now you can use proxychains with any sort of command.

Example:

root@kali:-# proxychains sqlmap -u http://www.sqldummywebsite.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?item_id=15 –dbs

Inspired by ’80s arcade cabinet games, Eternum EX aims to be a challenging retro action platformer that’s releasing this month.

The developer said they were inspired by games like Bomb Jack (Tehkan, 1984), Ghosts’n Goblins (Capcom, 1985), Baluba-louk no Densetsu (Able, 1986) and Psychic 5 (Jaleco, 1987).

About the game:

Sir Arthur has gotten old… too old. He has lost everything he had and loved, and with nothing more to lose he leaves for Samarnath, an evil subterranean kingdom (which no knight has ever returned alive) in search of treasures, adventures and the most important: five magical orbs that together provide: the Eternal youth.

Thanks to its progressive difficulty curve, and with a path divided into “worlds” of 5 levels each one, Eternum Ex is challenging, addictive and an ode to the nostalgia of the golden age of arcade games.

Hard to really judge what it will be like considering the trailer didn’t show all that much, the description and feature list we were sent don’t exactly explain the game too well either. The art does look pretty polished though, the combat looks like it can get quite intense too. It’s hard to tell, but it seems like the levels in each world might be quite small focusing on the difficulty in each one rather than having you explore.

Due for release on October 25th, the developer told us this will include Linux support on Steam.

The need to add a Secure Socket Layer certificate to your website has become a more pressing need as Google’s Chrome browser now announces sites that are not using HTTPS as insecure.

For those who do not know an SSL is the protocol that secures communications over a network, while HTTPS provides authentication for a website and its server making HTTP content secure.

The first step is to buy an SSL certificate. There are many options and the choice of which one will depend on the type of website you have. The guide here will help in deciding which SSL certificate.

Once you have the certificate you will need to install it on your server. Most hosting companies will help you with this. If you need specific instructions they can be found here.

Once you have your certificate you will need to create an SSL Certificate Signing Request. The CSR needs to know which server will use your certificate, as well as the domain name to use for SSL certificates.

To do this you connect to your server via a Secure Shell (SSH) and run a console command; then you enter your URL and business details. Copy and paste the text into your account’s SSL request area.

Once you have that covered you can grab a copy of Real Simple SSL plugin. NOTE: Backup your site before starting this.

• The plugin handles most issues like when you’re behind a reverse proxy/load balancer, or when no headers are passed which WordPress can use to detect SSL.
• All incoming traffic from previous HTTP links are redirected to HTTPS.
• No further database changes are needed.

Your insecure content becomes secure and you are seen as a secured site in the Chrome browser and the other browsers changing to this protocol.

If you’re using a VPS, you can follow this guide on how to install WordPress with Let’s Encrypt (a free SSL)

If you are planning on using a multi-domain SSL to cover a number of websites you will need the Pro version of this plugin.

The Pro version also provides a checker to ensure that the pages are secure. This gives peace of mind and customer trust. There are other plugins with varying features.

	Really Simple SSL	CM HTTPS Pro	WP Force SSL	Easy HTTPS Redirection	SSL Insecure Content Fixer
Force HTTPS across site	X	X	X	X
Selectively Force HTTPS	Pro	X		X
Force static files		X		X	X
URL Mapping		X
Multisite	Pro	X			X
