Solution

The command switch that allows us to save the captured packets in a .pcap format using tcpdump is -w.

Here is how you can use it:

  1. Open your terminal.
  2. Type the command tcpdump -w filename.pcap and press Enter. Replace "filename" with the name you want to give to your file.
  3. This command will start capturing all packets and save them in a file named filename.pcap.
  4. To stop capturing, press Ctrl + C.

Please note that you might need superuser (root) permissions to use tcpdump.
