# The net/ngrep port

## ngrep-1.45p4 – network grep

## Description

    ngrep strives to provide most of GNU grep's common features,
    applying them to the network layer. ngrep is a pcap-aware tool that
    will allow you to specify extended regular expressions to match
    against data payloads of packets. It currently recognizes TCP and
    UDP across ethernet, ppp and slip interfaces, and understands bpf
    filter logic in the same fashion as more common packet sniffing
    tools, like tcpdump and snoop.
