Thats such a bogus issue. IIRC there are ports that do the same thing (automatic snarfing of cleartext passwords from tcp streams.) And if it isn't a port yet I'm sure someone will come out of the woodwork and make it one. Regardless, -x solves 90% of the issues that cause me to have to use tcpdump | tcpshow right now. > On Wed, 30 Jun 1999, Bob Bishop wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > At 1:38 pm +1000 30/6/99, Peter Jeremy wrote: > > >[...] > > >Whilst we're at it, how about extending `-x' to print out the packet > > >in ASCII and hex (ala hd(1)).
