Explain how traceroute, ping, and tcpdump work and what
they are used for?
Answer Posted / malhari
ping is a command used to check the connectivity between source & destination.
tracert is a command used to track the route followed by packet to reach towards destination & time required to reach the destination.
TCPDUMP is different
its a NETWORK PACKET ANALYZER. tcpdump uses libpacp/winpcap
to capture data and uses it extensive protocol definitions
build inside to analyze the captured packets. Its mainly
used to debug the protocol of the captured packet which in
turn reveals the network traffic characterstics.
