# tcpdump as a service
This is a basic how to for setting up tcpdump to passively monitor network traffic.

In this instance, it is implemented thru a Raspberry Pi using Raspbian Buster Version 10 on a dedicated ethernet interface of eth1.

This service creates pcap files named capture_RRRRRRRR.pcap, where R is a lowercase alphanumeric character, in the /file/location folder.
Files are 1GB of maximum size and 100 total pcap files are kept. The oldest will start to be deleted once that number is exceeded.
