Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Tcpdump is a command line packet analyzer that allows users to capture and display packet data, making it similar to the GUI-based Wireshark. Nessus is a vulnerability scanner, Jack the Ripper is a password cracking tool, and Ethereal is an outdated name for Wireshark, which is not solely command line-based.
