I'm using wireshark to capture wifi packet. When capture is run for long duration, say 70k+ plus packets, wireshark hangs. Please let me know what method should be used for large captures.
Try using dumpcap[1] instead, then post-analyze the capture file(s) with Wireshark afterwards. Using dumpcap will avoid any potential out-of-memory[2] problems that can occur with long-running captures. - Chris [1]: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/dumpcap.html [2]: http://wiki.wireshark.org/KnownBugs/OutOfMemory ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
