I use tcpdump on embedded systems, some of them with very limited ram disks. In that case tcpdump fits the bill nicely.

- revelation 14y agoWhats stopping you from recording it and then analyzing on a beefy machine? Akin to remote debugging, which is clearly the harder problem.
- jlgreco 14y agoI usually see no need to bother. Why add another step if I don't need it?
- zwieback 14y agoThe recording part is cumbersome. On these systems there's hardly any writable disk space and I'm not sure if NFS or SMB client is built in. tcpdump is often a quick alternative to capture just the packets I'm interested in in clear text. That requires knowing a little bit about the filter syntax.
