flag (options) external-capture level flags
dedicated Bypass dumpcap & mux for high speed
failure Failure message
Possible grammar example:
arg {number=0}{call=channel}{display=Wi-Fi Channel}{type=integer}
arg {number=1}{call=chanflags}{display=Channel Flags}{type=radio}
arg {number=2}{call=interface}{display=Interface}{type=selector}
value {arg=0}{range=1,11}
value {arg=1}{value=ht40p}{display=HT40+}
value {arg=1}{value=ht40m}{display=HT40-}
value {arg=1}{value=ht20}{display=HT20}
value {arg=2}{value=wlan0}{display=wlan0}
Example 2
arg {number=0}{call=usbdevice}{USB Device}{type=selector}
value {arg=0}{call=/dev/sysfs/usb/foo/123}{display=Ubertooth One sn 1234}
value {arg=0}{call=”/dev/sysfs/usb/foo/456}{display=Ubertooth One sn 8901}
Example 3
arg {number=0}{call=usbdevice}{USB Device}{type=selector}
flag {failure=Permission denied opening Ubertooth device}
Security awareness:
- Users running wireshark as root, we cant save you
- Dumpcap retains suid/setgid and group+x permissions to allow users in wireshark group only
- Third-party capture programs run w/ whatever privs theyre installed with
- If an attacker can write to a system binary directory, were game over anyhow
- Dont let wireshark be told to look for capture binaries somewhere else?
Notes:
- daemonized dumpcap?
- multiuser?
- sync_pipe.h commands
- expand pipe commands to have status notifications, etc?
- Wireshark->dumpcap options for channel control, etc?
TODO
define grammar
write grammar to HTML mockup
sketch interface with dumpcap
launch external-pcap from wireshark, bypass dumpcap
launch external-pcap from wireshark, hand fd to dumpcap
extract netif capture as first cap source
