Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Extracting outer MAC Address

[Rayne <hjazz6@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is the "-E occurrence=f" option only available for certain versions of tshark? I just tried it and I got the error message:

"occurrence" is not a valid field output option=pair.

The available options for field output "E" are:

header=y|n    Print field abbreviations as first line of output (def: N: no)

separator=/t|/s|<character>    Set the separator to ise; "/t" = tab, "/s" = space (def: /t: tab)

quote=d|s|n    Print either d: double-quotes, s: single-quotes or n: no quotes around field values (def: n: none)

I'm using tshark 1.2.15.

Thank you.

Regards,

Rayne

You can make tshark print only the outer mac-address with :

tshark -r file.pcap -T fields -E occurrence=f -e eth.src -w output.pcap

BTW, using -w output.pcap will save the packets in binary form to output.pcap . If you want to save the list of mac-addresses, you should use:

tshark -r file.pcap -T fields -E occurrence=f -e eth.src > output.txt


From "tshark -h":

  -e <field>              field to print if -Tfields selected (e.g. tcp.port,
                          _ws.col.Info)
                          this option can be repeated to print multiple fields
  -E<fieldsoption>=<value> set options for output when -Tfields selected:
    header=y|n            switch headers on and off
    separator=/t|/s|<char> select tab, space, printable character as separator
    occurrence=f|l|a      print first, last or all occurrences of each field
    aggregator=,|/s|<char> select comma, space, printable character as
                          aggregator
    quote=d|s|n          select double, single, no quotes for values

Cheers,
Sake
