Is it possible to analyze ICMP packets with tcpdump?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Yes, it is possible to analyze ICMP packets with tcpdump. While tcpdump is often associated with capturing TCP packets, it is not limited to them and can capture and analyze any protocol that traverses the network, including ICMP, which operates at Layer 3 (Network Layer) of the OSI model. ICMP packets do not use ports, but tcpdump can filter and display these packets based on other criteria such as type and code fields.

Hah, option D is hilarious. ICMP doesn't have ports, but that doesn't mean tcpdump can't work with it. What a silly answer!

C) No, tcpdump works from layer 4. ICMP is located in the network layer (layer 3), therefore is not applicable to this scenario

No way, option C is the right answer. ICMP is at layer 3, so tcpdump can't work with it since it's a layer 4 tool.

I think option A is correct. tcpdump can definitely analyze ICMP packets, it's not limited to just TCP.
