Description
Wireshark is a network capture tool and protocol analyzer, including decoders for very many common and less-common protocols. This package contains the main program providing the graphical user interface; other parts are in the tshark package which may be installed separately if using the software on a system without X.WWW: https://www.wireshark.org/
Readme
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Packet dissectors (here in Wireshark, and in other programs such as tcpdump)
have a long history of security problems. In Wireshark, these are isolated
from the packet capture code (which must have root privileges) by using a
separate program, dumpcap, to run the capture.
${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/dumpcap has been installed setuid root, with read/execute
access granted only to users in the _wireshark group. For normal interactive
use of Wireshark, add your username to this group:
usermod -G _wireshark username
If you will only run Wireshark offline on files captured using tcpdump -w,
this step is not necessary.
DO NOT RUN WIRESHARK AS ROOT!
