try on your machine
The command you provided, "snoop -x0 -p4 ${ip1} ${ip2}", is used to capture and analyze network traffic between two specified IP addresses.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "snoop" is the command used to capture network traffic on Unix-based systems, like Solaris or Oracle Solaris.
- "-x0" option is used to display packet headers in a readable format, making it easier to analyze.
- "-p4" option is used to specify the number of bytes to capture per packet. In this case, it is set to 4.
- "${ip1} ${ip2}" refers to the IP addresses of the source and destination hosts between which the network traffic will be captured and analyzed. These IP addresses need to be specified in their respective places.
Note: The usage of "${ip1} ${ip2}" suggests that you are using variables to represent the actual IP addresses. Those variables should already be defined or replaced with their respective IP addresses before running the command.
