From the way I see it function, it only shows packets not what is in the packets. Like if someone is on your machine entering information at any prompt ie. telnet, ftp, bash, etc you actually see what they are typing, typically in a line going down the screen because it is streaming. Tcpdump just shows the whole packet and what type the packet is, ie. netbeui, tcp etc.. and where it is going or coming from etc.. Phil..
