make tor cells

     receive packet<---------   forward<-------------- decrypt tor

cells <--------------- receive from the entry node

tcpdump -i eth0(this is my capturing)

but you mean I can capture between the browser application and the sock？

so I used tcpdump on the ethernet interface the packets are encrypted you mean I can capture the packets before

Yes. capture on the lo interface, on whatever port your Tor SOCKS proxy is listening on.
