I am trying to capture network traffic on windows 2000 using windump
utility. I used: windump -n -r c:\log\dump_"file name". But this does
not produce results I wanted ( Human readable format of captured
file). It should show dump_"file name" in c:\log. I could not find
this file at all.
No, it shouldn't, actually. The '-r' option means 'R'ead from a file. The option to write a dump file is '-w'. But even that doesn't give you a human-readable file, but one in libpcap-format.
To dump the normal (text-)output of WinDump to a file, redirect it like this: windump -n > c:\log\dump_"file name"
