RockWolf@derrockwolf if you tcpdump without filters you get a firehose of packets dumped to the terminal. over ssh it's worse because now that firehose has to go over the series of tubes to your computer and house. very bad!
Wilfried KlaebeAnd you might even flood yourself with tcpdumping the ssh connection you are tcpdumping over.
Kroppeb@wonka @astrid @derrockwolf ran into this issue 2 weeks ago lol. I was too lazy to figure out how to filter it so I switched the ssh connection to wifi so I could still dump the entire Ethernet interface
"not tcp port 22" could already be enough in a lot of cases.
@wonka @Kroppeb @derrockwolf unfortunately still doesn't solve the problem of getting firehosed if you do this on a host serving prod traffic
