Tethereal is an network protocol analyzer and its a command line interface. It lets you capture packet transmission of live networks. Tethereal is part of Ethereal (wireshark) distribution. The text version is called "Tethereal" and GUI based version is called “Wireshark”. There is lot of information in this "manual document", regarding the application of various command line options.  The below command captures the next 10 packets received on eth0 in the file "xyz" without performing name resolution.



[root@cherry /root]# tethereal -i eth0 -c 10 -n -w XYZ



Tethereal can be run like the session shown below:
