About Tcpdump

Tcpdump was created in 1988 by Van Jacobson, Craig Leres, and Steven McCanne at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It was developed to provide a tool for network troubleshooting and analysis, allowing users to capture and examine network packets in detail.

Tcpdump's strengths include its command-line interface, flexibility, and powerful filtering capabilities. Weaknesses include a steep learning curve for beginners and limited graphical analysis features. Competitors include Wireshark, which offers a more user-friendly GUI, and Microsoft Network Monitor.
