|
|
== Getting Wireshark
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
|
2014-09-17 00:15:56 +00:00
|
|
|
https://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
|
2013-03-15 01:33:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Vendor-supplied Packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You can
|
|
|
|
usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management system
|
|
|
|
specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be found
|
2014-09-17 00:15:56 +00:00
|
|
|
on the https://www.wireshark.org/download.html#thirdparty[download page]
|
2013-03-15 01:33:46 +00:00
|
|
|
on the Wireshark web site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== File Locations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference
|
|
|
|
files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations vary
|
|
|
|
from platform to platform. You can use About→Folders to find the default
|
|
|
|
locations on your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Known Problems
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
