You can set the Interface in Cisco Packet Tracer menu Options -> Preferences -> Interface,
then check the Always Show Port Labels in Logical Workspace.
Packet Tracer is a tool for basic network simulation (actually specifically designed for CCNA preparation). And simulation is the key word in this sentence: It only simulates an IOS router, and it lacks a fairly broad set of features, including but not limited to:
Limited feature set regarding routing protocols (route summarization in OSPF, tweaking of some EIGRP settings such as hold time, partial support for frame relay...)
No NAT Exception on the simulated ASA
Missing many crypto features
No suppport for multipoint GRE tunnels
No support for DMVPN at all
After all, its for CCNA-level study. So the short answer is: No you cannot. You could use GNS3 or Cisco VIRL to experiment with that topic.
As I have searched allot for this so I put it hear maybe it can save time for others like me.
I have understood that hosts in Packet Tracer are not really configurable to do much works so I can't install packages or run special codes on them.
Instead I decided to use GNS3 which i can have my own configured VMs on hosts and so I can run my desired attack scripts for simulation.
There are lots of tutorials on how to create your own VMs in GNS3.
