Hi,

When i execute this line "sudo tcpdump -vvv dst host 'your IP' & port 80"
You CANT STOP TCPDUMP using "Ctrl + C".

That's because you sent it into the background with "&", and then ran
another command "port 80".

The correct syntax is

 sudo tcpdump -vvv dst host 'your_IP and port 80'

not "&", and quotes around all of it to be sure the shell will not
interfere with special characters.
