Description:

The tcpdump utility prints a description of the contents of packets on a network interface that match the boolean expression. You can also run it with the -w option, which causes it to save the packet data to a file for later analysis, and/or with the -r option, which causes it to read from a saved packet file rather than to read packets from a network interface. In all cases, tcpdump processes only those packets that match expression.

This program uses the OpenSSL library for cryptography services.
