Re: Including sharkd in the installation downloads

Hi Graham,

Obviously, I can’t speak for everyone but at our shop you have to get the security people to agree to it.  Unless you 
have a special account, you can’t just download and install.  But you can get it done, eventually.

Best regards…Paul

Hi,

There is a tremendous push for automation at work, and I'm sure other enterprises have the same aspirations.  Sharkd 
provides all the power of Wireshark dissection and filtering in a way that can easily be driven by an automation 
script.

It's quite difficult to get permission to instal Wireshark, and there is zero chance of us being allowed to build a 
copy from source.  I'm sure similar restrictions apply to many in large organisations.

Is it possible to include sharkd in the installers?

I don't see any issue in doing so if the application is adequately documented.

However, if it's difficult to get permission to install Wireshark that doesn't include sharkd, how will you get 
permission to install Wireshark that does include it?


Best regards...Paul
