I think a similar post on leveraging Wireshark would be neat. The deepest I tend to need to go is searching packets for a known substring and then following the TCP stream to see where something unexpected happened. Add to this the analyzing of the frames on this stream and you can diagnose tricky timeout issues, bad protocol usage, and much more.
- cobbzilla 8y agoYeah, my workflow is generally to use tshark (wireshark's command-line tool) for server-side capture, then scp file to local and use wireshark gui to poke around. I find tshark's interface to be simpler than tcpdump. tcpdump feels like bringing a gun to a knife fight when all you want to do is look at application layer payloads/streams (http/etc). But it's good to know more about tcpdump than I did before, because when things get complicated it's good to have more options.
