The network protocol analyzer developed and maintained by the Wireshark Foundation
Summary
Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer or packet analyzer. The software can be downloaded for free, supports multiple platforms and is open source. It allows the user to inspect multiple protocols via a live capture or offline saved sessions.
I've installed Wireshark(.org) using Homebrew.
brew install wireshark
at the end the script says
==> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/wireshark/1.2.7 --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-wireshark
==> make
==> make install
==> Caveats

Every time I try to filter to just show a specific IP address, I get an error indicating that it is "not an interface or a field." I have no idea what that means. Furthermore, I don’t really see any localhost traffic in the logs anyway.
How can I…
I'm trying to use wireshark on a Debian machine, but when I run it with my non-root user account, it doesn't detect any network interface.
I also tried running wireshark as root, but wireshark tells me this method is insecure.
I also read the FAQ…
I have an application which communicates with some server. I want to know what the IP of this server is. How can I capture all the traffic from a specific application and not just all the traffic like Wireshark does?
I happened to do a tcpdump while leaving my Mac idle, and when I came back after a mere half-hour there were something like 5000 packets involving deploy.akamaitechnologies.com, in which my computer was asking it on port TCP 443 for something, and…
I am trying to reverse engineer an usb (HID) device and cannot really figure out how what I see on wireshark (usbmon + wireshark on linux, or windows) relates to the usb protocol?. I have looked at the usb protocol from www.usb.org.

SSL protocol seems to be missing for me. It doesn't show up in the preferences menu and Wireshark doesn't capture any SSL packets from any program I try. I also had a failed handshake trying to just setup a basic OpenSSL server, but I'm not exactly…
From this wiki page:
WPA and WPA2 use keys derived from an EAPOL handshake to encrypt traffic. Unless all four handshake packets are present for the session you're trying to decrypt, Wireshark won't be able to decrypt the traffic. You can use the…
I am trying to decrypt my WLAN data with Wireshark. I have already read and tried eveything on this page but without any success (well, I tried the example dump on that page and succeeded, but I fail with my own packets).
I caught the four-way…
I'm using tshark to sniff my packets and I'm only concerned with the http header (preferably in the form its sent, but I'll take what I can get).
I tried using:
tshark tcp port 80 or tcp port 443 -V -R "http"
Which gave me the header, but also…
I have been trying to use Wireshark to capture some traffic that comes from a virtual machine.
The setup is:
Windows 7 host
Ubuntu guest
VirtualBox 4
I send some packets from the guest to the host or another IP in the host LAN. The packets get…
I'm looking at a TLS v1.3 headers in Wireshark and I'm not sure where I would find the server certificate that is used to confirm that the server is who they claim to be.
The Client Sends Hello then the Server Sends Hello with two TLS Record…
