ipsumdump: Print the source and destination IP addresses of all packets in a pcap file.
$ ipsumdump --src --dst ${filename-pcap}
try on your machine

This command is used to analyze network traffic captured in a pcap file and extract information about the source and destination IP addresses.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • ipsumdump is the name of the command-line tool being executed.
  • --src is an option that tells ipsumdump to display the source IP addresses in the extracted information.
  • --dst is another option that tells ipsumdump to display the destination IP addresses in the extracted information.
  • ${filename-pcap} is a placeholder that represents the name of the pcap file you want to analyze. You would replace it with the actual filename and its path on your system.

By running this command with a specific pcap file, you will get an output that includes a list of source and destination IP addresses found in the network traffic captured in that pcap file.
