I freshly installed Wireshark on my PC by running 'yum install wireshark'. Installation succeeded. But then I cannot find how to start Wireshark. I looked already in different folders by using locate ( and updatedb) but I cannot find the place where I should invoke the program. How I can start my program?

I'm loving FC14, but I just find out that Wireshark is not working, as it was on FC13.Here is what's happening..... When running the application I get prompt for authentication, that was fine under FC13. I used to type my super user password, andthat was it. On FC14 I get nothing.Now when I skip the authentication the Wireshark Gui comes up, but it has no interfaces showing on my list.What I have!:
wireshark-gnome-1.4.1-2.fc14.i686
wireshark-1.4.1-2.fc14.i686
wireshark-devel-1.4.1-2.fc14.i686

I am trying to use Wireshark and on startup the program pops up a window saying:
Couldn't run /usr/sbin/dumpcap in child process: Permission denied
Are you member of 'wireshark' group? Try running 'usermod -a -G wireshark <username>' as root.
I ran the usermod command to add my account in the group and checked it
Code:
less /etc/group
wireshark:x:490:myaccount
but the same error message pops up.
Maybe this has been solved already, but I'm not sure...I tried a few of the solutions I found elsewhere on this forum, and others but none have seemed to work.
I install an add-on in firefox 3.6 and now it will not start. I have tried uninstall and reinstalling firefox. deleteing every file for it on the system I could find then reinstalling. it says starting firefox, then nothing.
So lets start with my laptop. I am currently running windows vista 64-bit and I usually experiment with linux on a virtual machine but I decided to try and put it on as a dual boot os. I have x3 320gb hdd (7200rpm) on raid5, x2 1gb nvidia gtx go running sli, 8gb ram, 2.8ghz core2 quad, and random other things that aren't important. Point is that my system should run anything I throw at it.
So I downloaded Fedora 11 from a torrent and burned the iso to a disk. When I run it, it pretends its going to run it, it comes up with a log and loads stuff and all. But then it just hangs.. it doesn't do anything, no live starts, no nothing. Its just a blank screen with a blinking underscore in the top left "_" so I type and my typing shows up and thats it. Any other time I've used Linux I've never had to put in a command or anything to start, so I don't know what the problem is.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my ASUS Eee PC 1015 but can't get WireShark to recognize my Atheros card.
I know my Atheros card works because I was on my wireless network at my house last night.
I just downloaded the F11 x64 DVD iso, and I when I try to install it, after the media check screen, Anaconda starts it load, but it says "X failed to start, falling back to text mode" (or something like that).
The install goes through (in text mode), and all that gets installed is the basic environment.
My specs:
- AMD X2 Phenom II 550 Callisto
- 4gb DDR2 800 memory
- 1tb Samsung SATA / 100gb Western Digital SATA
- 2x XFX Geforce 9600gt 1gb
- ASRock K10N780SLIX3-WIFI motherboard
I've tried Ubuntu x86 on the same system, but I was having issues with it, so I decided to try FC11 instead.
The Wireshark website specifically warns against running WireShark as Root....
Quote:
Administrator/root account not required!
Many Wireshark users think that Wireshark requires a root/Administrator account to work with.
That's not a good idea, as using a root account makes any exploit far more dangerous: a successful exploit will have immediate control of the whole system, compromising it completely.
First of all, most Wireshark functions can always be used with a (probably very limited) user account. In particular, the protocol dissectors which have shown most of the security related bugs do not need a root account!
Only capturing (and gathering capture interface information) may require a root account, but even that can usually be "circumvented", see CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges for details how to do so.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am doing security stuff under linux... I've heard of Wireshark and Snort and dsniff and have been reading up on them on wikipedia pages but the big picture is not clear to me yet. Are things like Wireshard and Snort BASED on the functionality of iptables in Linux? I read that you have to be root to run iptables, but not to run Wireshark right? Yet Wireshark is dependent on iptables.

Ok, I have debated where to post this question. Should it be in Software? Networking? Security? Since I am going through a security class, I decided to post it here in hopes that other security gurus may have came accross the problem. Ok so, I am in a security class and they give you a wireshark capture file with RTP traffic and want you to dump the payloads into an audio file.
Pretty easy with wireshark:
Telephony -> RTP -> Show all streams...
Pick Stream -> Analyze
Save Payload
Format: RAW, Channels: BOTH -> OK
Ok so here is the problem when I do this I get: Can't save reversed direction in a file: Unsupported codec! At first I thought I was missing an audio codec it needs but I can't find it. I've searched the web and found one post that wasn't very helpful. If anyone can give me a hand that would be great.
I'm running a P4 system with Dual ATI Radeon 2900HD Graphics cards. When I try to install F11, the graphical interface fails to start and I end up in a text install. I've seen plenty of information on how to fix the problem post install, however I'm not nearly advanced enough to then continue the installation (the text install does not install much, particularly doesn't install the graphical interface). Is there a way to work around this (IE a more complete text install, or somehow getting it to install in graphical user interface?)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've run into a sort of catch 22.I installed wireshark via apt-get on my Eee 1008HA, but when it is launched, it does not allow any capture interfaces. I think this is because the shortcut created in my applications paneldoes not start it as root.So I went into terminal, typed in "sudo wireshark" and it popped up, as root. I was then able to capture on my wireless interface. However, if I try and specify my home folder as the location for the capture to be saved, I get an error that permission was denied, which seems odd since the process is running as root and should be able to do pretty much whatever it wants. How can I get wireshark set up so I can both capture _and_ save the .pcap files I generate?

- Enabled monitor and promisc mode using the command line and launched Wireshark with option 'promisc mode' on: didn't work.

I'm using AR5007EG with ath5k.
I'm running behind a 2wire NAT Router with only have smtp, www, pop3 open routing to my ubuntu VM server. Network also includes three other ubuntu VM server's and a Desktop. I'm the only one on the network so my question is, what security risk is there running WireShark as root? Because running it under dumpcap is horrible after you quit. It hogs up all the resource to remove the dump.

I installed Wireshark 1.2.7 on my Lenovo X61 tablet PC running Ubuntu 10.04 lucid during the quest for a decent signal strength meter for available wifi access points.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am new to using wireshark and I've been browsing around the packets it a bit. I figured I'd try and use it to cut into a protocol that isn't documented, that I can find, but doesn't seem particularly secure. I tried cutting into a protocol and I turned _everything_ off, but wireshark was still picking up packets left right and centre. So I decided to stop the internet daemon and still, packets were being sent over the internet. So I decided to pick some of the IPs and do a reverse look-up. Each and every one of the IPs are of Russian origin or close.
I'm under the impression that these are unwanted packets. I've also noticed that they are sending data from the same port: 32165. Another thing I noticed while doing reverse look-ups is a lot of these IPs are hit in 'Spam & Open Relay Blocking System' and 'Project Honey Pot' which seem to be spam blockers and trackers. What I should do or what I should investigate? The reverse look-ups are only providing me with the ISP which 'owns' the IP block the IP is apart of. They are from various ISPs every time.
