dumpcap -i 1 -f "ip.addr == 192.168.11.61" -b files:500 -b filesize:30000 -w textcap.pcap, error is string is not a valid capture filter. What is wrong with the string? asked 22 Nov '10, 13:16  qs_tech_support |
One Answer:
What's wrong is that it's a display filter, not a capture filter; capture filters are implemented by libpcap/WinPcap, and have a different syntax from display filters. (Display filters require a full-blown Wireshark packet dissection; dumpcap does not include Wireshark dissectors, because it might have to run with special privileges, and the Wireshark dissection code is a lot of code to run with privileges.) The equivalent capture filter would be "host 192.168.11.61"; it would also work as a capture filter in Wireshark, TShark, and tcpdump. answered 22 Nov '10, 13:40  Guy Harris ♦♦ |
