 Tcpdump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
tcpdump is a common computer network debugging tool that runs under the command line.
Tcpdump works on most Unix-like platforms: Linux, Solaris, BSD, Mac OS X, HP-UX and AIX among others.
On Unix and most other operating systems, a user must have superuser privileges to use tcpdump due to its use of promiscuous mode.

 YoLinux.com Manpage: tcpdump
Tcpdump assumes, when filtering on the pro- tocol identifier, that all FDDI packets include an LLC header, and that the LLC header is in so-called SNAP format.
If the snapshot was small enough that tcpdump didn't cap- ture the full TCP header, it interprets as much of the header as it can and then reports ``[tcp]'' to indicate the remainder could not be interpreted.
Instead, tcpdump keeps track of ``recent'' requests, and matches them to the replies using the call number and service ID. If a reply does not closely follow the corresponding request, it might not be parsable.

Tcpdump prints out the headers of packets on a network interface that match the boolean expression.
It can also be run with the -w flag, which causes it to save the packet data to a file for later analysis, and/or with the -b flag, which causes it to read from a saved packet file rather than to read packets from a network interface.
On at least some versions of Solaris, however, this is not suffi­ cient to allow tcpdump to capture in promiscuous mode; on those versions of Solaris, you must be root, or tcpdump must be installed setuid to root, in order to capture in promiscuous mode.

The tcpdump utility is a tool used to monitor network traffic.
tcpdump versions 3.8.1 and earlier are vulnerable to a denial of service attack, caused by an integer underflow in the isakmp_id_print function.
CVE-2004-0184: Integer underflow in the isakmp_id_print for TCPDUMP 3.8.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an ISAKMP packet with an Identification payload with a length that becomes less than 8 during byte order conversion, which causes an out-of-bounds read, as demonstrated by the Striker ISAKMP Protocol Test Suite.

 Tcpdump Remote Buffer Overflows
Background Tcpdump is a free sniffer developed first by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and now is maintained by a consortium.
This is a problem for systems using tcpdump as a form of intrusion detection, as after an attacker has crashed the tcpdump process, network activity will no longer occur.
There is a more serious vulnerability in the decoding of AFS ACL packets in the more recent version of tcpdump (tcpdump 3.5) which may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the local system (usually at root privilege, since root privilege is required to run tcpdump).
