Installing packages for 'tcpdump' and 'netcat'
Photon OS includes the following networking tools:
tcpdump. A networking tool that captures and analyzes packets on a network interface.
tcpdump
is not available with the minimal version of Photon OS but available in the repository. The minimal version includes theiproute2
tools by default.You can install
tcpdump
and its accompanying packagelibpcap
, a C/C++ library for capturing network traffic, by usingtdnf
:
tdnf install tcpdump
- netcat. A tool to send data over network connections with TCP or UDP. This tool is not included in either the minimal or the full version of Photon OS. But since
netcat
furnishes powerful options for analyzing, troubleshooting, and debugging network connections, you might want to install it. To install `netcat’, run the following command:
tdnf install netcat
