Network Protocol Analyzers
|
|
Overview. In this tutorial, you will first learn how to use tcpdump
and ethereal, which are two well-known network protocol analyzers. These
tools capture and display traffic that can be picked up by a network
interface card. Only traffic transmitted by the systems connected to the
same Ethernet hub is captured. The goal of this tutorial is to learn the
basic features of these tools in order to capture and analyze network
traffic. This tutorial is used in
Network Security TELECOM 2821.
Required Equipment. Two Linux machines, which can be
found in the SIS labs. You can use Linux PC: Millennia (IP 192.168.30.51) or PC1
and Linux PC: Pigeon (IP
192.168.30.52) or PC2.
Since both tcpdump and ethereal commands need to be run as root or
permitted users, you will use the command sudo to allow a permitted user
to execute these commands.
Login Instructions. To access both machines or execute
the programs, use the following username and password.
- Username:
