if iptables rules drop that packet, will they be displayed in tcpdump

[Teddy Mills]

if  iptables rules drop that packet, will they be displayed in tcpdump?
Im guessing no, since they packets dont even get in the front door.

I guess my alternatives are to disable the rules and then use tcpdump, or
use the LOG functions in iptables...Probably easier to just temporarily
disable
the offending iptables rules.

Im really wary of security now. Like paranoid.
