Introduction to the TCPDump network sniffer

This video is an introduction to the tcpdump network packet sniffer/capture tool. The video is relatively long because of the demo used required "building up" to the HTTP capture. The video only covers the basics but is meant to be a good introduction to practical use of tcpdump.

The video covers discovering targets with nmap (only a quick primer) then focuses the remaining time on capturing packets between the Backtrack 5 machine ("our" machine) and one of the hosts detected during the nmap scan.

The webpwnized YouTube channel is dedicated to information security, security testing and ethical hacking. There is an emphasis on web application security but many other topics are covers. Some of these include forensics, network security, security testing tools and security testing processes. The channel provides videos to encourage software developers and system administrators to perform security testing. Also, the channel educates the next generation of security testers and bug bounty hunters who want to respectfully, legally and ethically help system owners that allow security testing.
