Listen to the interface and print a single packet
netsniff-ng --num 1 --in eth1
Write traffic coming in on eth0 to dump.pcap and don't print any output.
netsniff-ng --in eth0 --out dump.pcap --silent --bind-cpu 0
write a new pcap to the /mypcaps directory each day
netsniff-ng --in eth0 --out /mypcaps --interval 24hrs
send packets from eth0 to eth1
netsniff-ng --in eth0 --out eth1 --mmap --silent --prio-high
replay a network trace to an IDS listening on eth0 or attached to a hub
netsniff-ng --in dump.pcap --mmap --out eth0 -k1000 --silent --bind-cpu 1
Apply a BPF filter, print matched packets in ASCII, accept jumbo frames, and increase verbosity:
netsniff-ng --in any --filter http.bpf --jumbo-support --ascii -V
Write new file every 10 seconds to the current directory and print packet statistics for every interval by specifying verbose mode
netsniff-ng --in any -s --out . --interval 10sec -V
Write a low-level BPF filter with bpfc and then pass to netsniff-ng
$ bpfc -i sample_bpf.txt > ethernet.bpfc
$ netsniff-ng --in eth0 --out ethernet.pcap --filter ethernet.bpfc
Use tcpdump to dump BPF filter opcodes to file and pass to netsniff-ng
tcpdump -dd 'ip src 192.168.1.1 and tcp and port (53 or 80 or 443)' > myfilter.bpf
netsniff-ng --in eth0 --filter myfilter.bpf --ascii
