Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark on Kali linux

[Dario Lombardo <lomato@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Today I found out an annoying issue on kali. It ships with a pretty new version of wireshark, but when you launch it, an issue raises. This post describes the issue and proposes a fix, too.

I know that the problem is how kali runs wireshark (as root) and that it should be avoided, but this is how kali works and I don't think they will change their mind. Moreover from the perspective of a kali user, it really looks like a bug in wireshark and not in kali.

I am planning to solve it somehow. What about the solution proposed in the post? I could embed it in the debian package when installed on kali. That would solve the issue, but do we want to do it? And do we want to do it this way?

I'd like to hear some opinion.

Thanks

Dario.
