Wireshark port

(1/5) > >>

Paul Smedley:
Hi Guys,

After a mailing list discussion with Lewis and Steven, I took a look at compiling Wireshark.

The good news is, I got it working - well it loads at least.

Note that at this point, it won't capture network packets itself, but it should be useful to analyse logs captured on other systems, or, Stephen has told me that it can analyse logs captured with iptrace.

To capture packets using wireshark, we either need to port the pcap library, or teach wireshark how to use iptrace :)

Requires heimdal DLL's and qt4 for the gui.

Current binary at http://smedley.id.au/tmp/wireshark-2.2.7-os2-20170603.zip

Working on an updated build with a few more libraries included....

Feedback appreciated ;)

Cheers,

Paul

Dave Yeo:
Excellent. Haven't looked at your binary yet, but it would be nice to have a pcap port.

Updated build at http://smedley.id.au/tmp/wireshark-2.2.7-os2-20170604.zip readme.os2 included that documents the change, and fully lists (hopefully) the requirements.

pcap is on the list, just no idea (yet) how to do it :P

Cheers,

Paul

David McKenna:
 Thanks, Paul, it looks like a great start! I've used Wireshark in Windows and it is a very useful tool. I'll have to read up on how to analyze logs - never tried that before...

Martin Iturbide:
Thanks Paul.

That's a very interesting port. I wonder which other library dependencies does the pcap library has.
Is this one? http://www.tcpdump.org/#latest-releases
