For example, we want to capture the data packages that running away in our ethernet. We dosn’t need depencies first, because it’s installed automatically.

It’s easier to install Wireshark with Repository Server. Then instal the packages use rpm –ivh packages-name.rpm Go to directory wehere the packages is located use cd (change directory) command.Ĥ. Login as root or the same level of rootģ. The dependencies are :Īnd the last is the Wireshark (wireshark-1.0.8-1.el5_3.1.i386.rpm).Ģ.

Before install Wireshark, we must install the depencies first. Because CentOS 5.5 is child from Linux RedHat. The Wireshark binary packages for CentOS 5.5 is typed rpm file. To install Wireshark with Binary Packages we must have the packages, please : ). So we will install the Wireshark with binary packages and repository server.Ī. In this case, we will not do the first way (install from resource packages), because it’s more difficult and need more dependencies. We could install the Wireshark package in three ways, install form : In this case, we install Whiresark in Linux Centos 5.5 in text mode (CLI – Command Line Interface). Except to sniff the data packages,Wireshark could read the the data that captured by another data package trace such as TCP Dump, LAN Analyzer, and etc.īefore we use the Wireshark, wes must install it first our operating system. Such as we could identify what computer that send any strange information to strange destination continuously, maybe the computer is infected by virus, trojan, worm or others any malware. We can use it to maintenance and diagnose our network. Wireshark could run in GUI (Graphical User Interface) mode, or text mode (CLI – Command Line Interface) for all operating system such as *Nix Operating System (Unix, Linux and the friends), Windows, and MacOS. It looks like TCP Dump, but the Wireshark is a good one, it can capture or sniff the data packages in our network, but the data packages is divided into sparated packages and grouped into their data packages, so we could analyze the data packages easy. Wireshark is the one of sniffing tool, it can “sniff” the data packages in our network.
