TCP Dump

TCPdump is a command-line tool used for monitoring and capturing network traffic on a computer. It collects data packets transmitted over a network, allowing users to analyze the details of communication between devices. This helps diagnose network issues, monitor data flow, and ensure security by identifying suspicious activity. Think of it as a "network scanner" that provides a real-time view of what data is moving through a network, enabling professionals to troubleshoot and manage network performance effectively.
