Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] GUI Change for Wireshark Remote Interfaces

[Roland Knall <rknall@xxxxxxxxx>]

Guy, is the version on github for libpcap already equipped with pcap_open on Mac? I don't need it to function, just for the cmake script to work and run, as it would make development of the new version so much easier.

I'll change the title accordingly, but the interface changes should be ok so far, right?

Just a short question though, isn't "tcpdump over ssh" or "remote peek" covered by extcap? What would those section of the interfaces need to perform such tasks in a way of configuration?

regards

Roland

The tab title should be "Remote interfaces".

*Currently*, the only versions of pcap that have remote capture support built in are WinPcap...

...and Npcap.

In the future, there will be support in libpcap on UN*X as well (that's a work in progress).

And the work I'm doing on that isn't limited to the rpcap protocol; it may also include other protocols, such as "run tcpdump over ssh" and "receive packets being sent by a Wi-Fi access point with {remotepeek, etc.}".

So let's make the tab title as future-proof as possible.
