Create command file on Windows

• Build the command file(*.cmd) as follows:

@REM ----------------------------------------------------
@REM remotecap.cmd

@REM ----------------------------------------------------
@REM install putty and wireshark on your windows pc.
@SET PLINK_PATH="C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe"
@SET WIRESHARK_PATH="C:\Program Files\Wireshark\Wireshark.exe"
@SET REMOTE_SERVER=192.168.0.10
@SET REMOTE_ACCOUNT=root
@SET REMOTE_PASSWORD=password1234
@SET REMOTE_INTERFACE=eth0
@REM execute command
%PLINK_PATH% -ssh -pw %REMOTE_PASSWORD% %REMOTE_ACCOUNT%@%REMOTE_SERVER% "tcpdump -s0 -U -w - -i %REMOTE_INTERFACE% not port 22" | %WIRESHARK_PATH% -i - -k

• You can fix variables for your environemnt.
  • Your Linux
    • REMOTE_SERVER : linux ip (such as 192.168.137.18)
    • REMOTE_ACCOUNT : linux account
    • REMOTE_PASSWORD : password of linux account
    • REMOTE_INTERFACE : linux ethernet interface (such as eth0, wlan0, etc)
      • If you don't know this, type command 'ifconfig' on your linux.
  • Your Windows
    • WIRESHARK_PATH : This is where you installed wireshark execute file (wireshark.exe).
    • PLINK_PATH : This is where you installed putty plink execute file (plink.exe).

How to capture packet

• Just run 'remotecap.cmd' on Windows. Windows may ask to you about firewall policy of Windows.
