snoop: Capture packets on a specific network interface.
$ snoop -d ${e1000g0}
try on your machine
The command "snoop -d ${e1000g0}" is used to capture and display network packets on the specified network interface.
Here's a breakdown of each component:
- "snoop" is a command-line utility commonly found in Unix-like operating systems (such as Solaris or FreeBSD) that enables packet capture and analysis.
- "-d" is an option that specifies the network device or interface to monitor for incoming and outgoing packets.
- "${e1000g0}" is a placeholder or variable for the name of the network interface. In this case, "e1000g0" refers to a specific network interface. The actual name may vary depending on the system and network configuration.
To use this command effectively, replace "${e1000g0}" with the appropriate network interface name on your system before running the command. It will then capture and display network packets passing through that interface.
