etherdump
etherdump is an extremely small packet sniffer. It can be used to dump raw ethernet frames for parsing (optimally with Ethereal's text2pcap), or for viewing the network traffic of a few common TCP/IP protocols. On a uClibc system a dynamically-linked version is about 8kB and a statically linked version is about 30kB because it does not depend on libpcap.

Changes: Users must now specify interfaces with -i or --interface. The -p option was changed to -e, basic packet filtering rules were added, and slightly improved tcpdump-like output was implemented.

Changes: Most of the code from the original ipdump2-pre1 program was left intact, and Win32 support was removed. The new features in this release included ASCII hex/raw frame output, tcpdump-like status printing, and file saving. A bug with TCP and UDP ports was fixed.
