packetsender -q

[aLBInOS1]

Hi. How does the -q option on the command line work? I want the data on the received packets to come to the command line.

[dannagle]

The "-q" option means "quiet" It just suppresses a lot of boilerplate information and only shows the data that came in.

Without -q

 .\packetsender -n "FTP debian.org" -w 500

Got it, thanks for the answer. But can not the received packages be viewed through cmd?

[dannagle]

Yes, the above is using powershell, but cmd works too.

I mean that when receiving data packets to the client's ip, you can see the contents of the packet on the command line (as displayed in the log).

[dannagle]

That info is displayed when you do not use the -q option. The target IP is not shown because that is who you connected to. Maybe I am misunderstanding your question.

What info is missing here?
