Why does tcpdump not give my more details? Each time it only comes as - 16:22:26.128541 [|ether]

# ./tcpdump -vv not port 22
tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
16:22:26.128541 [|ether]
16:22:26.128541 [|ether]
16:22:26.128541 [|ether]
16:22:26.128541 [|ether]
16:22:26.128541 [|ether]

Please, add output: tcpdump -pn -s 0 -X not port 22 – bindbn Sep 25 '10 at 14:58
Most likely, tcpdump is not giving you any more information because it does not have any more information to give you. Likely all it understands about the packets is that they are valid ethernet packets. Using '-e' might help. – David Schwartz Aug 21 '11 at 9:21
