This provides the user two basic functionalities: the first one is to have a listener that prevents the localhost to send back an ICMP port-unreachable packet. The second one is to strip out the lower layers (layer 2, IP, UDP) that are useless (are used just as export vector). The format of the exported datagrams are EXPORTED_PDU, as specified in https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/raw/master/epan/exported_pdu.h == OPTIONS --help:: + -- Print program arguments. -- --version:: + -- Print program version. -- --extcap-interfaces:: + -- List available interfaces. -- --extcap-interface=:: + -- Use specified interfaces. -- --extcap-dlts:: + -- List DLTs of specified interface. -- --extcap-config:: + -- List configuration options of specified interface. -- --capture:: + -- Start capturing from specified interface save saved it in place specified by --fifo. -- --fifo=:: + -- Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe. -- --port=:: + -- Set the listener port. Port 5555 is the default. -- --payload=:: + -- Set the payload of the exported PDU. Default: data. -- == EXAMPLES To see program arguments: udpdump --help To see program version: udpdump --version To see interfaces: udpdump --extcap-interfaces .Example output interface {value=udpdump}{display=UDP Listener remote capture} To see interface DLTs: udpdump --extcap-interface=udpdump --extcap-dlts .Example output dlt {number=252}{name=udpdump}{display=Exported PDUs} To see interface configuration options: udpdump --extcap-interface=udpdump --extcap-config .Example output arg {number=0}{call=--port}{display=Listen port}{type=unsigned}{range=1,65535}{default=5555}{tooltip=The port the receiver listens on} To capture: udpdump --extcap-interface=randpkt --fifo=/tmp/randpkt.pcapng --capture NOTE: To stop capturing CTRL+C/kill/terminate the application. == SEE ALSO xref:wireshark.html[wireshark](1), xref:tshark.html[tshark](1), xref:dumpcap.html[dumpcap](1), xref:extcap.html[extcap](4) == NOTES *udpdump* is part of the *Wireshark* distribution.
