snoop my packets

Hi, I use the snoop command to analyze my packets on a machine, but I can't see anything except the headers (no content).

I logged to the machine, but I just see there is communication between the 2 machines, and no log, no passwd.

I should at least see the 'Authentification header' in the packets, but no.

here's my command:

snoop -i myfile -v -p1,100 | grep'Authentification'

Thank you for your help.

Use "-x0" this will cause a full dump of the packet. HTH,Roger S.

I'm not really contributing anything to the question, but here's something that bugs me :)

Why the heck do people insist on calling it "authentiFIcation"? Now believe me, you're not alone since Google returns almost 6e6 hits for that word... But it's just plain bad spelling :) Same thing with "iNdentification"...

Where do those extra letters come from?! :D

Good point though, perhaps his grep won't return anything since he misspelled that auth-word ;-)To be on the safe side he could do a |grep -i auth 7/M.

Actually! This might be why you're not seeing those headers :3 Try spelling the word correctly...

my five cents:snoop is good for packet gathering, not for analysis. it's better to capture packets with snoop -o file and then use ethereal to analyze whole dump
