I've installed Wireshark, had it capturing packets, looked through the
packets, and not finding what I'm looking for.

I have it setup on a standalone server running a product using Oracle.  I
have the client installed on the same system.  I want to log the activity
that occurs between those and other locally ran processes.  What I'm
finding
in the capture is all communication in/out of the system, but nothing I can
tell is internal to the system itself.

I'm essentially wanting something like CurrPorts or TCPView, but seeing the
actual packets that are being passed between processes.

am I in the right place?

Hi,

We are looking to do some long term larger packet captures (e.g., 1 day / 3
day / etc) - is there some way to setup wireshark so that it doesn't crash
(a write to disk mode or something?) or is this something that we should be
using a more command line utility like tshark for?

Thanks

-Charles

Hi,

Look into using the CLI tool dumpcap, writing to a circular
buffer.

Thanks,

Jaap,

Thanks for your response. I looked up for some samples for accessing
reassembly functions and conversation related functions that are called
from
Lua Dissector scripts and could not find any.

Please provide a sample in Lua for accessing conversation and reassembly
functions. Is this documented someplace?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Two things:
1. There are reassembly functions available for dissectors to use. These
might help you out.

2. The pinfo only lives for a single packet dissection, so that won't
work.
 What you need to do is look into conversations, see README.developer
section 2.2.

Thanks,

Hi

I am writing a dissector for a custom protocol and have a situation where
packets on the wire may contain one or more frames. Also one frame can
straddle across many packets. When I detect that a frame is straddling
across multiple packets I would like to be able to set some custom data
on
pinfo to say how far I have progressed in getting the frame during the
first
pass (while recording traffic). I need this information stored per
packet,
as the dissector is can be called on random packet (due to user selecting
one packet in the UI).

I tried using pinfo.private_data and set some value on it by the
following
code in the dissector method:

         print("pinfo.private_data: "..tostring(pinfo.private_data))
        pinfo.private_data = {"mydata", 1, 2, 3, 4}
        print("pinfo.private_data: "..tostring(pinfo.private_data))
        print(tostring(pinfo.private_data))

This prints out the following:


pinfo.private_data: userdata: 0x7fff1c257f20
pinfo.private_data: userdata: 0x7fff1c257f20
userdata: 0x7fff1c257f20



As you see the data that I am trying to set is not being retained in
pinfo.private_data.

*Is there a way to store some private data on pinfo that is retained next
time the dissector is called with the same packet? *

Any workaround or suggestion is appreciated.

I am using Version 1.2.7 of Wireshark on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

It does what you want out of the box, but not if you are running on
Windows.
See http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Loopback for more details.

To be honest it is much easier  to set up a separate PC or even run a
Virtual Machine instance of the client to do this.

Folks

Relatively new to wireshark - please bear with me if I am missing something
obvious.

I'd like to do packet capture on my WiFi network (which I have joined). I
am only interested in data packets (specifically traffic form my iPhone).

I've installed WireShark and managed to have capture running in promiscuous
mode. However I only see UDP packets from other devices, no IP...

Wha'ts up ?!

Any help / pointer most welcome

Regards

alex

So what is the UDP traffic running over if it's not IP? :-)

I.e., what do you mean by "no IP packets"?  Do you mean "no TCP packets"?

If so, you're probably seeing only broadcast traffic.  The Wi-Fi adapters
might not work in promiscuous mode; if you want to see traffic to and from
other hosts, you might need to use monitor mode.

If you're running on Tiger, try capturing on wlt1 rather than en1.  If
you're running on Leopard, try selecting 802.11 or 802.11+radio information
headers.  If you're running on Snow Leopard, then either try that or, if
there's a checkbox for monitor mode, try checking that.

Note that if your network is encrypted, you might have to capture the
initial setup packets when the other machines join the network, and enter
the password for the network, so that traffic to or from other machines can
be decrypted.

Of course this should read no TCP ;)

Running 1.2.9 under SnowLeopard (10.6.4). Don't see a checkbox for monitor
mode - Tried to switch to 802.11 mode: I certainly see much more noise
(including lots of "malformed packets" - is this normal ?) but still not the
TCP stuff I'm looking for (such as plain vanilla http traffic)

Note that if your network is encrypted, you might have to capture the
initial setup packets when the other machines join the network, and enter
the password for the network, so that traffic to or from other machines can
be decrypted.

Hmm... so what you are saying is that in an encrypted network I will not be
able to access the plaintext content of the packets even if I have joined
the network ?

Again many thanks for your help

Hi,


       when capturing data via dumpcap, we encountered problems with packet
dropping. The captured data is written on a named pipe (Solaris 10) from
where it is read by our application for further proceeding. We see that when
we do something with the data (within the same process where reading from
pipe is done), we get the message dropped packages (approx. 10% of the
captured packets).

       Can anyone give us any hints regarding the dropped packages when
capturing data with dumpcap?

       Thanks a lot in advance

In general, packet dropping indicates a performance issue.  :)

http://wiki.wireshark.org/Performance has a few comments which may (or
may not) be helpful.

I guess you are unaware that many companies (such as the one I work for)
have a policy in place on their mail servers whereby the various notices,
disclaimers, etc. are automatically appended to any outgoing mail.  My
company has been doing this at least as far back as 2004 (
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200407/msg00427.html).  At the
time, I even contacted our IT group to ask that the disclaimers be removed
from outgoing e-mails, particularly when they are being sent to open-source
mailing lists such as this one.  But as you can tell by the annoying
disclaimer that will inevitably be appended to this e-mail, I was
unsuccessful.  As stupid as they are, these disclaimers are not likely to go
away IMO.  In fact, I suspect they will only become more & more prevalent as
more & more lawyers mandate that their companies "CYA".

Is there some way to actually listen to the audio RTP stream through
Wireshark?

Hello,



I am trying to use Tshark to read about 19,000 15MB files to get some
network statistics.? My plan (since Tshark can't read files out of a
directory) is to use mergecap to break the large number of files into?larger
files.? Basically I merged 1000, 15MB into one large file and had about 20
of these.? I know that Mergecap cant handle large files without a
workaround, which I have.? Problem is now that I have these 19 files that
range from 3GB to 15GB and now when I run?# tshark -r pcapfile -q -z
io,?phs??I get the error, The file pcapfile could not be opened: Value to
large for defined data type.



Anythoughts?



Thanks,?

If your company servers automatically add it, either persuade your
sysadmins to turn it off for the lists, post from home, or use a free
web-based e-mail service. There's enough of them out there.

Well, personally I don't think it would be a good idea to do what redhat
has done, but if Gerald decides to change the post policy to bounce all
e-mails with such notices and disclaimers appended to them, then so be it.

Other than that, this topic has already been discussed in the past (follow
this thread if you really care:
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200409/msg00231.html), so
nearly 6 years later, I don't really care to spend any more of my time on
it.
