## Internal
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some command line tools are shipped together with Wireshark. These tools are useful to work with capture files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [capinfos](http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/capinfos.html) is a program that reads a saved capture file and returns any or all of several statistics about that file
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [dumpcap](http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/dumpcap.html) a small program whose only purpose is to capture network traffic, while retaining advanced features like capturing to multiple files (since version 0.99.0). Dumpcap is the engine under the Wireshark/tshark hood. For long-term capturing, this is the tool you want.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [editcap](http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/editcap.html) edit and/or translate the format of capture files
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [mergecap](http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/mergecap.html) merges multiple capture files into one
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [randpkt](http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/randpkt.html) random packet generator
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [rawshark](http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/rawshark.html) dump and analyze raw libpcap data
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [reordercap](http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/reordercap.html) reorder input file by timestamp into output file
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [text2pcap](http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/text2pcap.html) generates a capture file from an ASCII hexdump of packets
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [tshark](https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html) is the command-line equivalent of Wireshark, similar in many respects to `tcpdump/WinDump` but with many more features. Learn it, use it, love it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Scripts
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [dumpcap.bat](uploads/89c6817a80374f2d1e849704703053ae/dumpcap.bat) A batch file front-end for `dumpcap.exe`. It allows you to save `dumpcap.exe` settings, be notified of capture events or trigger `dumpcap.exe` capturing after a capture event occurs. It also provides hooks for performing custom actions through user-defined batch files, among other things. In order to get the most out of this batch file, it is recommended that you also download [Handle.exe](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896655.aspx) as well as [mailsend1.17b14.exe](https://code.google.com/p/mailsend/downloads/detail?name=mailsend1.17b14.exe), being sure to rename it to `mailsend.exe`. These executables should be saved either in a directory that is in your `PATH` or in the same directory as `dumpcap.bat` itself. (GPL, Windows)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [maxfiles.bat](uploads/__moin_import__/attachments/Tools/maxfiles.bat) A batch file to limit either the number of files in a directory to a specified limit, or the total disk space consumed by those files or both.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [menushark](/menushark), a Bourne shell menu script to allow users to employ the use of tshark by answering a few menu questions. The script also gives you the command that the menu system has made to try to teach you how to use tshark at the command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [mpeg\_dump](/mpeg_dump.lua), a Lua script that adds a Wireshark extension to dump MPEG-2 transport stream packets (ISO/IEC 13818-1) from a network capture to a file, for example, to extract one or more mpeg PIDs that were transported via UDP unicast or multicast.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [osXextraction](/osXextraction), a macOS bash script to extract particular packet types from a capture file (NOTE: it's not very macOS-specific - some small changes should allow it to work on other UN\*Xes, and would probably allow it to work on Windows with Cygwin as well.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [pdetipv4.py](uploads/__moin_import__/attachments/Tools/pdetipv4.py) : Detect IPv4 packet headers in binary dumps, Perl3, Code development <https://github.com/gr8drag1/pdetipv4>, discussion <https://www.linkedin.com/posts/vadim-zakharine-bb55922_wireshark-ip-capture-activity-6601113583017439232-pCGo>

|
|
|
|
|
|
- [update-ws-profiles](uploads/__moin_import__/attachments/Tools/update-ws-profiles) and [update-ws-profiles.bat](uploads/__moin_import__/attachments/Tools/update-ws-profiles.bat) automate changing strings in a collection of Wireshark profiles, e.g. changing "gui.filter\_expressions.expr: eth.addr==11:22:33:44:55:66" to "gui.filter\_expressions.expr: eth.addr==66:55:44:33:22:11"
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [update\_geoip.bat](uploads/__moin_import__/attachments/Tools/update_geoip.bat) A batch file inspired by Jasper Bongertz's [UpdateGeoIPDB.cmd](https://github.com/packetfoo/GeoIPDBUpdate/blob/master/UpdateGeoIPDB.cmd) file that makes it easier to update the [MaxMind](http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database) GeoIP database files.

### USB capture
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, *raw* USB traffic can be captured with Wireshark only under Linux, macOS, and Windows; see [CaptureSetup/USB](/CaptureSetup/USB). If it's an [Ethernet](/Ethernet) (or any other network related) USB adapter, Wireshark can capture e.g. Ethernet traffic from that USB device if the platform supports it (which it usually will do). On Win32 you can however try:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [SniffUSB](http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/UsbSnoop/) "minor" updates and port of usbsnoop 1.8 (v2.0.0006 Feb 2007)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [SnoopyPro](http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/) based on usbsnoopy, last updated (v0.22) in 2002 (GPL, Win32)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Also [usbsnoop](http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/) seems to be by the same developer, but updated through 2001-2003 (latest v1.8)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [usbsnoopy](http://www.wingmanteam.com/usbsnoopy/) last updated (v0.13) in 2001 (no license, source incl., Win32)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Intrusion Analysis / SQL Database Support
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [C5 SIGMA](http://www.commandfive.com/research.html) from [Command Five Pty Ltd](http://www.commandfive.com/) automates TShark (Wireshark) to load large quantities of packet capture data into a SQL database using an automatically generated schema. C5 SIGMA flattens the Wireshark protocol tree into a relational table structure useful for intrusion analysis and data correlation with other systems. It also enables SQL queries against otherwise unnamed text fields visible in the Wireshark protocol tree by intelligently generating human readable names. C5 SIGMA is free software, released under GPL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [pcap2xml/sqlite](http://hackoftheday.securitytube.net/2015/03/pcap2xmlsqlite-convert-80211-packets-to.html) This tool converts 802.11 packet traces (PCAP format) into an XML and SQLITE equivalent so you can now run XPATH/XQUERY/SQL queries on the packets.

|
|
|
|
Some command line tools are shipped together with Wireshark. These tools are useful to work with capture files.
|
|
|

|
|
- [dumpcap](http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/dumpcap.html) a small program whose only purpose is to capture network traffic, while retaining advanced features like capturing to multiple files (since version 0.99.0). Dumpcap is the engine under the Wireshark/tshark hood. For long-term capturing, this is the tool you want.
|
|
|

### USB capture
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, *raw* USB traffic can be captured with Wireshark only under Linux, macOS, and Windows; see [CaptureSetup/USB](/CaptureSetup/USB). If it's an [Ethernet](/Ethernet) (or any other network related) USB adapter, Wireshark can capture e.g. Ethernet traffic from that USB device if the platform supports it (which it usually will do). On Win32 you can however try:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [SniffUSB](http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/UsbSnoop/) "minor" updates and port of usbsnoop 1.8 (v2.0.0006 Feb 2007)

- Also [usbsnoop](http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/) seems to be by the same developer, but updated through 2001-2003 (latest v1.8)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [usbsnoopy](http://www.wingmanteam.com/usbsnoopy/) last updated (v0.13) in 2001 (no license, source incl., Win32)

|
### Intrusion Analysis / SQL Database Support
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [C5 SIGMA](http://www.commandfive.com/research.html) from [Command Five Pty Ltd](http://www.commandfive.com/) automates TShark (Wireshark) to load large quantities of packet capture data into a SQL database using an automatically generated schema. C5 SIGMA flattens the Wireshark protocol tree into a relational table structure useful for intrusion analysis and data correlation with other systems. It also enables SQL queries against otherwise unnamed text fields visible in the Wireshark protocol tree by intelligently generating human readable names. C5 SIGMA is free software, released under GPL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [pcap2xml/sqlite](http://hackoftheday.securitytube.net/2015/03/pcap2xmlsqlite-convert-80211-packets-to.html) This tool converts 802.11 packet traces (PCAP format) into an XML and SQLITE equivalent so you can now run XPATH/XQUERY/SQL queries on the packets.
