The print_nfs.c changes are pretty extensive; this is partially because LBL did a lot of cleanup and partially because I removed lots of pointless changes away from the LBL style. PR: 3371 mostly-Submitted by: Chris Timmons <skynyrd@opus.cts.cwu.edu>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
\fITcpdump\fP prints out the headers of packets on a network interface
|
|
that match the boolean \fIexpression\fP.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B Under SunOS with nit or bpf:
|
|
To run
|
|
.I tcpdump
|
|
you must have read access to
|
|
.I /dev/net
|
|
or
|
|
.IR /dev/bpf* .
|
|
.B Under Solaris with dlpi:
|
|
You must have read access to the network pseudo device, e.g.
|
|
.IR /dev/le .
|
|
.B Under HP-UX with dlpi:
|
|
You must be root or it must be installed setuid to root.
|
|
.B Under IRIX with snoop:
|
|
You must be root or it must be installed setuid to root.
|
|
.B Under Linux:
|
|
You must be root or it must be installed setuid to root.
|
|
.B Under Ultrix and Digital UNIX:
|
|
Once the super-user has enabled promiscuous-mode operation using
|
|
.IR pfconfig (8),
|
|
any user may run
|
|
.BR tcpdump .
|
|
.B Under BSD:
|
|
You must have read access to
|
|
.IR /dev/bpf* .
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
Exit after receiving \fIcount\fP packets.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
Dump the compiled packet-matching code in a human readable form to
|
|
standard output and stop.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-dd
|
|
Dump packet-matching code as a
|
|
.B C
|
|
program fragment.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-ddd
|
|
Dump packet-matching code as decimal numbers (preceded with a count).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-e
|
|
Print the link-level header on each dump line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-f
|
|
Print `foreign' internet addresses numerically rather than symbolically
|
|
(this option is intended to get around serious brain damage in
|
|
Sun's yp server \(em usually it hangs forever translating non-local
|
|
internet numbers).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-F
|
|
Use \fIfile\fP as input for the filter expression.
|
|
An additional expression given on the command line is ignored.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-i
|
|
Listen on \fIinterface\fP.
|
|
If unspecified, \fItcpdump\fP searches the system interface list for the
|
|
lowest numbered, configured up interface (excluding loopback).
|
|
Ties are broken by choosing the earliest match.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
Make stdout line buffered. Useful if you want to see the data
|
|
while capturing it. E.g.,
|
|
.br
|
|
``tcpdump\ \ \-l\ \ |\ \ tee dat'' or
|
|
``tcpdump\ \ \-l \ \ > dat\ \ &\ \ tail\ \ \-f\ \ dat''.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-n
|
|
Don't convert addresses (i.e., host addresses, port numbers, etc.) to names.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-N
|
|
Don't print domain name qualification of host names. E.g.,
|
|
if you give this flag then \fItcpdump\fP will print ``nic''
|
|
instead of ``nic.ddn.mil''.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-O
|
|
Do not run the packet-matching code optimizer. This is useful only
|
|
if you suspect a bug in the optimizer.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
\fIDon't\fP put the interface
|
|
into promiscuous mode. Note that the interface might be in promiscuous
|
|
mode for some other reason; hence, `-p' cannot be used as an abbreviation for
|
|
`ether host {local-hw-addr} or ether broadcast'.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-q
|
|
Quick (quiet?) output. Print less protocol information so output
|
|
lines are shorter.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-r
|
|
Read packets from \fIfile\fR (which was created with the -w option).
|
|
Standard input is used if \fIfile\fR is ``-''.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s
|
|
Snarf \fIsnaplen\fP bytes of data from each packet rather than the
|
|
default of 68 (with SunOS's NIT, the minimum is actually 96).
|
|
68 bytes is adequate for IP, ICMP, TCP
|
|
and UDP but may truncate protocol information from name server and NFS
|
|
packets (see below). Packets truncated because of a limited snapshot
|
|
are indicated in the output with ``[|\fIproto\fP]'', where \fIproto\fP
|
|
is the name of the protocol level at which the truncation has occurred.
|
|
Note that taking larger snapshots both increases
|
|
the amount of time it takes to process packets and, effectively,
|
|
decreases the amount of packet buffering. This may cause packets to be
|
|
lost. You should limit \fIsnaplen\fP to the smallest number that will
|
|
capture the protocol information you're interested in.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-T
|
|
Force packets selected by "\fIexpression\fP" to be interpreted the
|
|
specified \fItype\fR. Currently known types are
|
|
\fBrpc\fR (Remote Procedure Call),
|
|
\fBrtp\fR (Real-Time Applications protocol),
|
|
\fBrtcp\fR (Real-Time Applications control protocol),
|
|
\fBvat\fR (Visual Audio Tool),
|
|
and
|
|
\fBwb\fR (distributed White Board).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-S
|
|
Print absolute, rather than relative, TCP sequence numbers.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t
|
|
\fIDon't\fP print a timestamp on each dump line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-tt
|
|
Print an unformatted timestamp on each dump line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
(Slightly more) verbose output. For example, the time to live
|
|
and type of service information in an IP packet is printed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-vv
|
|
Even more verbose output. For example, additional fields are
|
|
printed from NFS reply packets.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-w
|
|
Write the raw packets to \fIfile\fR rather than parsing and printing
|
|
them out. They can later be printed with the \-r option.
|
|
Standard output is used if \fIfile\fR is ``-''.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-x
|
|
Print each packet (minus its link level header) in hex.
|
|
The smaller of the entire packet or
|
|
.I snaplen
|
|
bytes will be printed.
|
|
.IP "\fI expression\fP"
|
|
.RS
|
|
selects which packets will be dumped. If no \fIexpression\fP
|
|
is given, all packets on the net will be dumped. Otherwise,
|
|
only packets for which \fIexpression\fP is `true' will be dumped.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The \fIexpression\fP consists of one or more
|
|
.I primitives.
|
|
Primitives usually consist of an
|
|
.I id
|
|
(name or number) preceded by one or more qualifiers. There are three
|
|
different kinds of qualifier:
|
|
.IP \fItype\fP
|
|
qualifiers say what kind of thing the id name or number refers to.
|
|
Possible types are
|
|
.BR host ,
|
|
.B net
|
|
and
|
|
.BR port .
|
|
E.g., `host foo', `net 128.3', `port 20'. If there is no type
|
|
qualifier,
|
|
.B host
|
|
is assumed.
|
|
.IP \fIdir\fP
|
|
qualifiers specify a particular transfer direction to and/or from
|
|
.I id.
|
|
Possible directions are
|
|
.BR src ,
|
|
.BR dst ,
|
|
.B "src or dst"
|
|
and
|
|
.B "src and"
|
|
.BR dst .
|
|
E.g., `src foo', `dst net 128.3', `src or dst port ftp-data'. If
|
|
there is no dir qualifier,
|
|
.B "src or dst"
|
|
is assumed.
|
|
For `null' link layers (i.e. point to point protocols such as slip) the
|
|
.B inbound
|
|
and
|
|
.B outbound
|
|
qualifiers can be used to specify a desired direction.
|
|
.IP \fIproto\fP
|
|
qualifiers restrict the match to a particular protocol. Possible
|
|
protos are:
|
|
.BR ether ,
|
|
.BR fddi ,
|
|
.BR ip ,
|
|
.BR arp ,
|
|
.BR rarp ,
|
|
.BR decnet ,
|
|
.BR lat ,
|
|
.BR sca ,
|
|
.BR moprc ,
|
|
.BR mopdl ,
|
|
.BR iso ,
|
|
.BR esis ,
|
|
.BR isis ,
|
|
.B tcp
|
|
and
|
|
.BR udp .
|
|
E.g., `ether src foo', `arp net 128.3', `tcp port 21'. If there is
|
|
no proto qualifier, all protocols consistent with the type are
|
|
assumed. E.g., `src foo' means `(ip or arp or rarp) src foo'
|
|
(except the latter is not legal syntax), `net bar' means `(ip or
|
|
arp or rarp) net bar' and `port 53' means `(tcp or udp) port 53'.
|
|
.LP
|
|
[`fddi' is actually an alias for `ether'; the parser treats them
|
|
identically as meaning ``the data link level used on the specified
|
|
network interface.'' FDDI headers contain Ethernet-like source
|
|
and destination addresses, and often contain Ethernet-like packet
|
|
types, so you can filter on these FDDI fields just as with the
|
|
analogous Ethernet fields. FDDI headers also contain other fields,
|
|
but you cannot name them explicitly in a filter expression.]
|
|
.LP
|
|
In addition to the above, there are some special `primitive' keywords
|
|
that don't follow the pattern:
|
|
.BR gateway ,
|
|
.BR broadcast ,
|
|
.BR less ,
|
|
.B greater
|
|
and arithmetic expressions. All of these are described below.
|
|
.LP
|
|
More complex filter expressions are built up by using the words
|
|
.BR and ,
|
|
.B or
|
|
and
|
|
.B not
|
|
to combine primitives. E.g., `host foo and not port ftp and not port ftp-data'.
|
|
To save typing, identical qualifier lists can be omitted. E.g.,
|
|
`tcp dst port ftp or ftp-data or domain' is exactly the same as
|
|
`tcp dst port ftp or tcp dst port ftp-data or tcp dst port domain'.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Allowable primitives are:
|
|
.IP "\fBdst host \fIhost\fR"
|
|
True if the IP destination field of the packet is \fIhost\fP,
|
|
which may be either an address or a name.
|
|
.IP "\fBsrc host \fIhost\fR"
|
|
True if the IP source field of the packet is \fIhost\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBhost \fIhost\fP
|
|
True if either the IP source or destination of the packet is \fIhost\fP.
|
|
Any of the above host expressions can be prepended with the keywords,
|
|
\fBip\fP, \fBarp\fP, or \fBrarp\fP as in:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBip host \fIhost\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
which is equivalent to:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBether proto \fI\\ip\fB and host \fIhost\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
If \fIhost\fR is a name with multiple IP addresses, each address will
|
|
be checked for a match.
|
|
.IP "\fBether dst \fIehost\fP
|
|
True if the ethernet destination address is \fIehost\fP. \fIEhost\fP
|
|
may be either a name from /etc/ethers or a number (see
|
|
.IR ethers (3N)
|
|
for numeric format).
|
|
.IP "\fBether src \fIehost\fP
|
|
True if the ethernet source address is \fIehost\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBether host \fIehost\fP
|
|
True if either the ethernet source or destination address is \fIehost\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBgateway\fP \fIhost\fP
|
|
True if the packet used \fIhost\fP as a gateway. I.e., the ethernet
|
|
source or destination address was \fIhost\fP but neither the IP source
|
|
nor the IP destination was \fIhost\fP. \fIHost\fP must be a name and
|
|
must be found in both /etc/hosts and /etc/ethers. (An equivalent
|
|
expression is
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBether host \fIehost \fBand not host \fIhost\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
which can be used with either names or numbers for \fIhost / ehost\fP.)
|
|
.IP "\fBdst net \fInet\fR"
|
|
True if the IP destination address of the packet has a network
|
|
number of \fInet\fP. \fINet\fP may be either a name from /etc/networks
|
|
or a network number (see \fInetworks(4)\fP for details).
|
|
.IP "\fBsrc net \fInet\fR"
|
|
True if the IP source address of the packet has a network
|
|
number of \fInet\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBnet \fInet\fR"
|
|
True if either the IP source or destination address of the packet has a network
|
|
number of \fInet\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBnet \fInet\fR \fBmask \fImask\fR"
|
|
True if the IP address matches \fInet\fR with the specific netmask.
|
|
May be qualified with \fBsrc\fR or \fBdst\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fBnet \fInet\fR/\fIlen\fR"
|
|
True if the IP address matches \fInet\fR a netmask \fIlen\fR bits wide.
|
|
May be qualified with \fBsrc\fR or \fBdst\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fBdst port \fIport\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is ip/tcp or ip/udp and has a
|
|
destination port value of \fIport\fP.
|
|
The \fIport\fP can be a number or a name used in /etc/services (see
|
|
.IR tcp (4P)
|
|
and
|
|
.IR udp (4P)).
|
|
If a name is used, both the port
|
|
number and protocol are checked. If a number or ambiguous name is used,
|
|
only the port number is checked (e.g., \fBdst port 513\fR will print both
|
|
tcp/login traffic and udp/who traffic, and \fBport domain\fR will print
|
|
both tcp/domain and udp/domain traffic).
|
|
.IP "\fBsrc port \fIport\fR"
|
|
True if the packet has a source port value of \fIport\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBport \fIport\fR"
|
|
True if either the source or destination port of the packet is \fIport\fP.
|
|
Any of the above port expressions can be prepended with the keywords,
|
|
\fBtcp\fP or \fBudp\fP, as in:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBtcp src port \fIport\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
which matches only tcp packets whose source port is \fIport\fP.
|
|
.IP "\fBless \fIlength\fR"
|
|
True if the packet has a length less than or equal to \fIlength\fP.
|
|
This is equivalent to:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBlen <= \fIlength\fP.
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
.IP "\fBgreater \fIlength\fR"
|
|
True if the packet has a length greater than or equal to \fIlength\fP.
|
|
This is equivalent to:
|
|
.in +.5i
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBlen >= \fIlength\fP.
|
|
.fi
|
|
.in -.5i
|
|
.IP "\fBip proto \fIprotocol\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an ip packet (see
|
|
.IR ip (4P))
|
|
of protocol type \fIprotocol\fP.
|
|
\fIProtocol\fP can be a number or one of the names
|
|
\fIicmp\fP, \fIigrp\fP, \fIudp\fP, \fInd\fP, or \fItcp\fP.
|
|
Note that the identifiers \fItcp\fP, \fIudp\fP, and \fIicmp\fP are also
|
|
keywords and must be escaped via backslash (\\), which is \\\\ in the C-shell.
|
|
.IP "\fBether broadcast\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an ethernet broadcast packet. The \fIether\fP
|
|
keyword is optional.
|
|
.IP "\fBip broadcast\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an IP broadcast packet. It checks for both
|
|
the all-zeroes and all-ones broadcast conventions, and looks up
|
|
the local subnet mask.
|
|
.IP "\fBether multicast\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an ethernet multicast packet. The \fIether\fP
|
|
keyword is optional.
|
|
This is shorthand for `\fBether[0] & 1 != 0\fP'.
|
|
.IP "\fBip multicast\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is an IP multicast packet.
|
|
.IP "\fBether proto \fIprotocol\fR"
|
|
True if the packet is of ether type \fIprotocol\fR.
|
|
\fIProtocol\fP can be a number or a name like
|
|
\fIip\fP, \fIarp\fP, or \fIrarp\fP.
|
|
Note these identifiers are also keywords
|
|
and must be escaped via backslash (\\).
|
|
[In the case of FDDI (e.g., `\fBfddi protocol arp\fR'), the
|
|
protocol identification comes from the 802.2 Logical Link Control
|
|
(LLC) header, which is usually layered on top of the FDDI header.
|
|
\fITcpdump\fP assumes, when filtering on the protocol identifier,
|
|
that all FDDI packets include an LLC header, and that the LLC header
|
|
is in so-called SNAP format.]
|
|
.IP "\fBdecnet src \fIhost\fR"
|
|
True if the DECNET source address is
|
|
.IR host ,
|
|
which may be an address of the form ``10.123'', or a DECNET host
|
|
name. [DECNET host name support is only available on Ultrix systems
|
|
that are configured to run DECNET.]
|
|
.IP "\fBdecnet dst \fIhost\fR"
|
|
True if the DECNET destination address is
|
|
.IR host .
|
|
.IP "\fBdecnet host \fIhost\fR"
|
|
True if either the DECNET source or destination address is
|
|
.IR host .
|
|
.IP "\fBip\fR, \fBarp\fR, \fBrarp\fR, \fBdecnet\fR, \fBiso\fR"

Link Level Headers

On ethernets, the source and destination addresses, protocol,
|
|
and packet length are printed.
|
|
.LP
|
|
On FDDI networks, the '-e' option causes \fItcpdump\fP to print
|
|
the `frame control' field, the source and destination addresses,
|
|
and the packet length. (The `frame control' field governs the
|
|
interpretation of the rest of the packet. Normal packets (such
|
|
as those containing IP datagrams) are `async' packets, with a priority
|
|
value between 0 and 7; for example, `\fBasync4\fR'. Such packets
|
|
are assumed to contain an 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) packet;
|
|
the LLC header is printed if it is \fInot\fR an ISO datagram or a
|
|
so-called SNAP packet.

\fI(N.B.: The following description assumes familiarity with
|

|
|
.LP
|
|
On SLIP links, a direction indicator (``I'' for inbound, ``O'' for outbound),
|
|
packet type, and compression information are printed out.
|
|
The packet type is printed first.
|
|
The three types are \fIip\fP, \fIutcp\fP, and \fIctcp\fP.
|
|
No further link information is printed for \fIip\fR packets.
|
|
For TCP packets, the connection identifier is printed following the type.
|
|
If the packet is compressed, its encoded header is printed out.
|
|
The special cases are printed out as
|
|
\fB*S+\fIn\fR and \fB*SA+\fIn\fR, where \fIn\fR is the amount by which
|
|
the sequence number (or sequence number and ack) has changed.
|
|
If it is not a special case,
|
|
zero or more changes are printed.
|
|
A change is indicated by U (urgent pointer), W (window), A (ack),
|
|
S (sequence number), and I (packet ID), followed by a delta (+n or -n),
|
|
or a new value (=n).
|
|
Finally, the amount of data in the packet and compressed header length
|
|
are printed.
|
|
.LP

|
For example, the following line shows an outbound compressed TCP packet,
|
|
with an implicit connection identifier; the ack has changed by 6,
|

the sequence number by 49, and the packet ID by 6; there are 3 bytes of

up to but not including \fIlast\fP which is \fInbytes\fP bytes of user data'.)

1024 bytes.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Csam replies with a similar packet except it includes a piggy-backed
|
|
ack for rtsg's SYN. Rtsg then acks csam's SYN. The `.' means no
|
|
flags were set.
|
|
The packet contained no data so there is no data sequence number.
|
|
Note that the ack sequence
|
|
number is a small integer (1). The first time \fBtcpdump\fP sees a
|
|
tcp `conversation', it prints the sequence number from the packet.
|
|
On subsequent packets of the conversation, the difference between
|
|
the current packet's sequence number and this initial sequence number
|
|
is printed. This means that sequence numbers after the
|
|
first can be interpreted
|
|
as relative byte positions in the conversation's data stream (with the
|
|
first data byte each direction being `1'). `-S' will override this

feature, causing the original sequence numbers to be output.

On the 6th line, rtsg sends csam 19 bytes of data (bytes 2 through 20

in the rtsg \(-> csam side of the conversation).
|
|
The PUSH flag is set in the packet.
|
|
On the 7th line, csam says it's received data sent by rtsg up to
|
|
but not including byte 21. Most of this data is apparently sitting in the

|
socket buffer since csam's receive window has gotten 19 bytes smaller.
|
|
Csam also sends one byte of data to rtsg in this packet.

On the 8th and 9th lines,

csam sends two bytes of urgent, pushed data to rtsg.

If the snapshot was small enough that \fBtcpdump\fP didn't capture

|
the full TCP header, it interprets as much of the header as it can
|
|
and then reports ``[|\fItcp\fP]'' to indicate the remainder could not
|
|
be interpreted. If the header contains a bogus option (one with a length
|
|
that's either too small or beyond the end of the header), tcpdump reports
|
|
it as ``[\fIbad opt\fP]'' and does not interpret any further options (since
|
|
it's impossible to tell where they start). If the header length indicates
|
|
options are present but the IP datagram length is not long enough for the
|
|
options to actually be there, tcpdump reports it as ``[\fIbad hdr length\fP]''.

protocol information is all in the first fragment and we have no idea

what the port or sequence numbers are when we print the later fragments.
