Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 117

Which open-sourced packet capture tool uses Linux and Mac OS X operating systems?

Answer options

• A. NetScout
• B. tcpdump
• C. SolarWinds
• D. netsh

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is tcpdump, which is a widely used open-source packet analysis tool specifically designed for Unix-like operating systems including Linux and Mac OS X. NetScout and SolarWinds are commercial products that do not fit the open-source criteria, and netsh is a Windows command-line utility, making it incompatible with the mentioned operating systems.
