ngrep strives to provide most of GNU grep's common features,
applying them to the network layer. ngrep is a pcap-aware tool that
- will allow you to specify extended regular expressions to match
- against data payloads of packets. It currently recognizes TCP, UDP
- and ICMP across Ethernet, PPP, SLIP and null interfaces, and
- understands bpf filter logic in the same fashion as more common
- packet sniffing tools, such as tcpdump and snoop.
