I often have to capture packets from a variety of *nix appliance devices that
lack any native capture interface or ability to capture in real time, and have
found that in general with anything that has SSH and tcpdump on it I can do the
following:
<Terminal A>
mkfifo /tmp/pcap1
ssh user@host "tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -w - not port 22" > /tmp/pcap
<Terminal B>
wireshark -ki /tmp/pcap
On versions 1.10.3 and prior, Wireshark starts, launches X11/XQuartz if
required, and after entering a password in Terminal A if not using key auth I
start to see a near-realtime stream of packets from the remote device.
On version 1.11.2, I simply get the normal interface selection display which
obviously does not list my FIFO as an interface. Even attempting to set the
"default interface" to /tmp/pcap does not work. There seems to be no way in
this version to select anything to capture from that Wireshark doesn't see as a
standard network interface.
I have not tested on a non-Mac system so I do not know if this regression in
functionality is across the board for 1.11.x or exclusive to the Qt version. I
assume the latter, but am not sure since the CLI flags presumably aren't
intended to change and its those I'm trying to use.
