TCP dump command will go to the network level and show you the all the packets where it is going coming in or coming out.

command:- tcpdump

Ping works on ICMP protocol
command :- tcpdump icmp

It will update live if some one is ping in the real time which we see in our terminal.

If i want to capture the of TCP only on port 80 then it will capture that ip.

command :- tcpdump tcp port 80

The above command will show the DNS.

command :- tcpdump tcp port 80 - n

This time it will only show the ip addrress because of -n command . It will not show the DNS.

As you ping this IP all the packets will be able to show there on the terminal.

command:- tcpdump tcp port 80 -n -X

If we insert -X before the command tcpdump tcp port 80 -n -X then, it will clearly show the data which will be not encrypted because the http is not a secure that’s helps it to show the data with out any hide.
