Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Using the snoop command to capture traffic between two devices.

I am trying to snoop traffic between two servers, and I am getting nowhere.
I tried to run a simple test by snooping the traffic between my desktop and
an edge switch via a solaris box, and nothing happened.  The command I used
for this was 'snoop -v 216.118.178.15 192.168.192.50'.  Now when I run the
'snoop' command, or if I snoop to a particular address from the interface,
it works fine.  Do I have to set up an RMON probe in order to see the
traffic between two devices?

Milton,

Use:
frame.number < 20 and frame.number > 10

as your filter and you should be on your way.

You can do something similair as this with frame.time > .... and frame.time
< .... Where time is arrival time. For more filtering possibilities just
click on the filter button in the lower left corner of the window. Then
click 'add expression'. From the list that now appears, and you can choose
whatever you want to filter on, including the frame filter I've just
described.

Succes,
Marco.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Saving a portion of a capture


I want to save only the first 2000 packets of a capture, thereby my save
file will be small.

I thought I should create a display filter and save only the displayed
packets. The problem is, I cannot find the filter field corresponding to
a packet number. Then I thought I could filter on the time field but
when I select protocol time in the display filter, add expression
dialog, then select <, the error message tells me the field cannot be
tested with "<".

Which leaves me with what I'm sure is simple, dumb question:

How do I save only the first 2000 lines of a captured set of packets?

I have read about 4 hours today but have not found the answer.

Milton Bliss

Thank you so much.

I was looking for expression time and number, I should have been looking
for expression frame.time and frame.number I tried your instructions and
have enjoyed 100% success. Thank you again.

You failed to tell us which platform (architecture) and distribution of
Linux, 
and that matters. However If you go to http://www.ethereal.com, and look on 
the left hand side, you'll see "Download" and underneath that line "Binary 
Packages", which will take you to:

> 	Kindly give exact filename and URL.
http://www.ethereal.com./download.html#binaries where you can pick whichever

one you need.

You probably also have binaries on your distribution disks, although they
may 
not be quite as up to date.

Hi my name is Benny,
I"m new to Ethereal,
I"m trying to use Tethereal for automatic testing
I "ll be happy to get some isea'son how to go about it

one idea i thought about is to send my Unit under test  a ping "frame"
and let Tethereal catch the incoming packets, the problem i"m facing is
that it won't let me save the
output as plain text it uses some other file formats such as libpcap which
i"m not familiar with.

appriciate your help
Best Regards

Hello,

I got a ton of errors when I tried to compile Ethereal on Win32
(Windows2000).
I followed all the steps indicated in the README.win32 (including running
the cleanbld.bat script), installed all the packages, modified the
config.nmake file.
So before I spend too many time on that, is someone can tell me what I'm
wrong?
Thanks,
Cheers,
Pierre.
