To check if promiscuous mode is enabled, click Capture > Options and verify the “Enable promiscuous mode on all interfaces” checkbox is activated at the bottom of this window. If you have promiscuous mode enabled-it’s enabled by default-you’ll also see all the other packets on the network instead of only packets addressed to your network adapter. Wireshark captures each packet sent to or from your system. You can configure advanced features by clicking Capture > Options, but this isn’t necessary for now.Īs soon as you click the interface’s name, you’ll see the packets start to appear in real time. For example, if you want to capture traffic on your wireless network, click your wireless interface. Capturing PacketsĪfter downloading and installing Wireshark, you can launch it and double-click the name of a network interface under Capture to start capturing packets on that interface. We can perform string search in live capture also but for better and clear understanding. Hi, appreciate you quick reply, I captured the file with tcpdump ,belows are my steps to run it 1: push the tcpdump file to myphone/data direcotry and grant the file 777 permission adb shell chmod 777 /data/tcpdump 2Run the commands series :tcpdump -i any -s 0 -w /sdcard/ip.pcap &, 3: After 25 hours gone ,Pull out the file ip.pcap. Don’t use this tool at work unless you have permission. A Wireshark capture be in one state either saved/stopped or live.

Just a quick warning: Many organizations don’t allow Wireshark and similar tools on their networks.
