I use windump but it has some failing which irritate me. For example I haven't been able to get it to display hex and ascii output at the same time as tcpdump can and which is very useful.

Sent: 30 November 2004 00:12 To: Cygwin List Subject: RE: Suggesting an application If you install winpcap (http://winpcap.polito.it/), you can use windump (http://windump.polito.it/). If it is in your PATH while you are running a cygwin shell, you can run it from there. You can ssh into a system running cygwin's OpenSSH server and run windump (assuming you installed it on the remote system). It works just like tcpdump for the most part since it uses tcpdump as the code-base. Since Cygwin is just a subsystem and not a virtual machine of any kind, recompiling libpcap or tcpdump would be sort of pointless. -Jason On Monday, November 29, 2004 5:51 PM, Gregg C Levine wrote > Hello from Gregg C Levine > This is probably the wrong Cygwin list for bringing this up, but.... > For my work I need to have the tcpdump application running. > > That's usually part of all Linux distributions, including my favorite > one.
