Challenge
Install tcpdump
You will need to install tcpdump:
# yum install tcpdump -
Challenge
Begin the Packet Capture
You will want to apply a capture filter so that you're only getting web requests:
# tcpdump port 80 -w capture.pcap -
Challenge
Generate Some Traffic
Since this isn't a public web server, you will need to generate some traffic from
Client1(10.0.1.11) toServer1(10.0.1.10). This needs to be done while thetcpdumpcapture is running. -
Challenge
Cancel the Capture and View the File
After you've generated some requests, you can cancel the running capture and view the file:
tcpdump -r capture.pcapMove the file to
/root/if it's not there already.
