how to capture raw data from socket

10-28-2004, 04:08 AM

I am curious if there is a commandline way to capture a raw socket
stream and pipe it to a file, or vice versa.

Hopefully some linux Guru has the answer

tcpdump -w

man tcpdump.

The main tool for packet capture is libpcap. It's also
the engine in tcpdump and ethereal.
