wireshark not part of knoppix anymore?

$ sudo wireshark &

$ sudo: wireshark: command not found


[1]+ Exit 1 sudo wireshark


$ which wireshark


$ uname -a

What is confusing to me is that I also get:

$ dpkg -l | grep wireshark
ii libwireshark-data 2.2.0+g5368c50-1 all network packet dissection library -- data files
ii libwireshark8:i386 2.2.0+g5368c50-1 i386 network packet dissection library -- shared library

Running:


sudo wireshark-gtk

may work but with warnings that it is dangerous.

Recomendations:
Live DVD with Wireshark: Kali Linux
Installed Linux with Wireshartk available: Debian

What's wrong with Knoppix?

What's wrong with Knoppix?

Well, to quote philo: " may work but with warnings that it is dangerous. "

I thought that the OP was simply looking for a live DVD with Wireshark and made a suggestion. Wireshark is there and given the nature of Kali Linux, Wireshark is unlikely to vanish from it any time soon. When I'm working with a Live DVD I generally am looking to get something done as simply as I can and don't like to have to remember magic prayers to the Linux gods to get things started. I also don't like warnings, at least one reason for that is that I don't think that I know Linux well enough to determine if I can safely ignore the warnings.

Alternately, if the OP is trying to work with an installed system, then I recommend a pure system built from one distro, not the Knoppix approach of hacking different systems together.

running wireshark . . .



_USR=$(whoami)
echo "// __ \$_USR: ${_USR}"


sudo chgrp "${_USR}" /usr/bin/dumpcap
sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip /usr/bin/dumpcap


_LOG=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)"_wireshark-gtk.log"


wireshark-gtk -i eth0 -w "${_LOG}" 2>&1
