RTFM 

The Red Team Field Manual is the go-to reference guide for penetration testers (hackers). It is a concatenation of cheatsheets of Linux and Windows commands for use when testing computer security and looking for vulnerabilities. There is a companion book, the Blue Team Field Manual, which is used by "the other side" - the intrusion detection teams - to be able to identify and protect against the "Red Team."

I can't remember the Linux command to do a TCPDump - hand me the RTFM.
