Previous OpenBSD releases used a different firewall/NAT package which is no longer supported. PF was originally developed by Daniel Hartmeier and is now maintained and developed by Daniel and the rest of the OpenBSD team.

    TCPdump Basics What we will cover: What is/are TCPdump/WinDump? Why use TCPdump? Installation of TCPdump on Unix/Windows It’s installed, now what? Changing the amount of data collected Reading TCPdump/WinDump Output TCP Flags in TCPdump/WinDump Absolute & Relative Sequence Numbers Dumping TCPdump/WinDump output in hexadecimal format TCPdump ManPage TCPdump is a tool we can use for packet analysis. We will not use ethereal (wireshark) because it does “too much” for us. TCPdump will keep everything “raw” and that’s the way we like it! *note: it is expected that the reader will try out all the TCPdump/WinDump commands listed in the lesson on their own computers as well as the practical exercises. You have to actually run the commands to learn how to use the tool. What is/are TCPdump/WinDump? TCPdump, and its cousin WinDump, is software that allows us to see inside the traffic activity that occurs on a network. TCPdump is a Unix tool used to gather data from the network, decipher the bits, and display the output in a human readable format (granted it does take a little bit of instruction to learn the TCPdump language). Why use TCPdump? Network traffic travels in data packets; each data packet contains the information that it needs to travel across the network. This information is contained in a TCP header. A TCP header will contain the destination and source address, state information, and protocol identifiers. The rest of the packet contains the data that is being sent. Devices that are responsible for routing read the information in these packets and send them to their correct destination.
