What is TShark & its use?

Let's learn about tshark and its usage. tshark is a command-line network traffic capture and analysis tool. It is a part of the Wireshark package and uses the same packet capture library as Wireshark. More ideal for scripting and automation. One of the key advantages of Tshark is the ability to filter packets based on different criteria.

What is a TShark capture file?

It lets you capture packet data from a live network, or read packets from a previously saved capture file, either printing a decoded form of those packets to the standard output or writing the packets to a file. TShark 's native capture file format is pcapng format, which is also the format used by Wireshark and various other tools.

How does TShark write packets to a file?

When writing packets to a file, TShark, by default, writes the file in pcapng format, and writes all of the packets it sees to the output file. The -F option can be used to specify the format in which to write the file. This list of available file formats is displayed by the -F option without a value.

What does TShark read_format do?

read_format: file_format tells TShark to use the given file format to read in the file (the file given in the -r command option). Providing no file_format argument, or an invalid one, will produce a list of available file formats to use. For example, tshark -r rtcp_broken.pcapng -X read_format:"MIME Files Format" -V

Chapter1. Introduction

1.1.What isWireshark?

Wiresharkis anetworkpacket analyzer.Anetwork packetanalyzerwill trytocapture networkpackets andtries todisplaythat packetdataas detailedaspossible. Youcould thinkofa networkpacketanalyzer asameasuring deviceusedto examinewhat'sgoing on insidea networkcable,just likeavoltmeter isusedby anelectricianto examinewhat'sgoing oninside anelectric cable(butat ahigherlevel, ofcourse). Inthe past,suchtools wereeithervery expensive,proprietary,or both.However,with theadventof

Wireshark,all thathaschanged.

Wiresharkis perhapsoneof thebestopen sourcepacketanalyzers availabletoday.

1.1.1.Some intendedpurposes

Hereare someexamplespeople useWiresharkfor:

•network administratorsuseit totroubleshootnetwork problems •network securityengineersuse ittoexaminesecurity problems •developers useitto debugprotocol implementations •people useitto learnnetwork protocolinternals Besidethese examples,Wiresharkcan behelpfulin manyothersituations too.

1.1.2.Features

Thefollowing aresomeof themanyfeatures Wiresharkprovides: •Available forUNIXandWindows. •Capturelivepacket datafroma networkinterface. •Display packetswithverydetailed protocolinformation. •Openand Savepacketdata captured. •Importand Exportpacketdata fromandto alotof othercaptureprograms. •Filterpackets onmany criteria. •Searchforpackets onmanycriteria. •Colorizepacketdisplay basedonfilters. •Create variousstatistics. •... andalot more! 1 However,to reallyappreciateits power,youhave tostartusing it. havingcaptured somepacketsand waitingforyou toexaminethem. Figure1.1. Wiresharkcapturespackets andallowsyou toexaminetheir content.

1.1.3.Live capturefrommany differentnetworkmedia

Wiresharkcan capturetrafficfrom manydifferentnetwork mediatypes- anddespiteit's nameincluding wirelessLAN aswell.Which mediatypesare supported,dependson manythingslike theoperatingsys- temyou areusing.An overviewofthe supportedmediatypes canbefound at:http://wiki.wireshark.org/

CaptureSetup/NetworkMedia.

1.1.4.Import filesfrommany othercaptureprograms

Wiresharkcan openpacketscaptured fromalarge numberofother captureprograms.For alistof input formatssee Section5.2.2,"InputFileFormats".

1.1.5.Export filesformany othercaptureprograms

Wiresharkcan savepacketscaptured inalarge numberofformats ofothercapture programs.Fora list ofoutput formatsseeSection5.3.2,"OutputFileFormats".

Introduction

1.1.6.Many protocoldecoders

Thereare protocoldecoders(or dissectors,asthey areknownin Wireshark)fora greatmanyprotocols: seeAppendixB,ProtocolsandProtocolFields.

1.1.7.Open SourceSoftware

Wiresharkis anopensource softwareproject,and isreleasedunder theGNUGeneralPublicLicence (GPL).You canfreelyuse Wiresharkonany numberofcomputers youlike,without worryingaboutli- censekeys orfeesor such.Inaddition, allsourcecode isfreelyavailable undertheGPL. Becauseof that,it isveryeasy forpeopleto addnewprotocols toWireshark,either asplugins,or builtintothe source,and theyoftendo!

1.1.8.What Wiresharkisnot

Hereare somethingsWireshark doesnotprovide:

•Wireshark isn'tanintrusion detectionsystem.It willnotwarn youwhensomeone doesstrange thingson yournetworkthat he/sheisn'tallowed todo.However, ifstrangethings happen,Wireshark mighthelp youfigureout whatisreally goingon. •Wireshark willnotmanipulate thingsonthe network,itwill only"measure"things fromit.Wire- sharkdoesn't sendpacketson thenetworkor dootheractive things(exceptfor nameresolutions,but eventhat canbedisabled).

Introduction

1.2.System Requirements

Whatyou'll needtoget Wiresharkupand running...

1.2.1.General Remarks

•The valuesbeloware theminimumrequirements andonly"rules ofthumb"for useona moderately usednetwork •Working withabusy networkcaneasily producehugememory anddiskspace usage!Forexample: Capturingon afullysaturated 100MBit/sEthernetwill produce~750MBytes/min! Havingafast processor,lots ofmemoryand diskspaceis agoodidea here. •If Wiresharkisrunning outofmemory itcrashes,see: http://wiki.wireshark.org/KnownBugs/

OutOfMemoryfordetails andworkarounds

•Wireshark won'tbenefitmuch fromMultiprocessor/Hyperthreadsystems (exceptperhapsduring an "Updatelist ofpacketsin realtime"capture, wherecapturingtraffic runsinone processanddissect- ingand displayingpacketsruns inanotherprocess, andthetwo processescouldrun ontwopro- cessors).

1.2.2.Microsoft Windows

•Windows 2000,XPHome, XPPro,XP TabletPC,XP MediaCenteror Server2003(XP Prorecom- mended) •32-bit Pentiumoralike (recommended:400MHzor greater),64-bitprocessors inWoW64emula- tion,see remarksbelow •128MB RAMsystemmemory (recommended:256MBytesor greater) •60MB availablediskspace (plussizeof user'scapturefiles, e.g.100MBextra) •800*600 (1280*1024orhigher recommended)resolutionwith atleast256 colors •A supportednetworkcard forcapturing: •Ethernet: anycardsupported byWindowsshould do •WLAN: seetheMicroLogixsupportlist,no capturingof802.11 headersandnon-data frames •Other media:Seehttp://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/NetworkMedia

Remarks:

•Windows Vistashouldwork, butasit's stillbetayou mightencounternew bugs •Windows 95,98,ME andNTwon't workwithWireshark. Thelastknown versiontowork wasEth- ereal0.99.0 (whichincludesWinPcap 3.1).Thelibraries Wiresharkdependson arenolonger sup- portingthese systems.BTW:Microsoft nolongersupports 98/MEsinceJuly 11,2006!

Introduction

4 •Windows CEandthe embedded(NT/XP)versions arenotsupported! •64-bit processorsrunWireshark in32bit emulation(calledWoW64), atleastWinPcap 4.0beta1 is requiredfor that •Multi monitorsetupsare supportedbutmay behaveabit strangely

1.2.3.Unix /Linux

Wiresharkcurrently runsonmost UNIXplatforms.The systemrequirementsshould becomparableto theWindows valueslistedabove. Binarypackages areavailablefor atleastthe followingplatforms: •Apple MacOSX •Debian GNU/Linux •FreeBSD •Gentoo Linux •HP-UX •Mandriva Linux •NetBSD •OpenPKG •Red HatFedora/EnterpriseLinux •rPath Linux •Sun Solaris/i386 •Sun Solaris/Sparc Ifa binarypackageis notavailablefor yourplatform,you shoulddownloadthe sourceandtry tobuild it.Please reportyourexperiences towireshark-dev[AT]wireshark.org.

Introduction

1.3.Where togetWireshark?

Youcan getthelatest copyofthe programfromthe Wiresharkwebsite:ht- tp://www.wireshark.org/download.html.The websiteallowsyou tochoosefrom amongseveralmirrors fordownloading. Anew Wiresharkversionwill typicallybecomeavailable every4-8weeks. Ifyou wanttobe notifiedaboutnew Wiresharkreleases,you shouldsubscribeto thewireshark-an- nouncemailing list.Youwill findmoredetails inSection1.6.4,"MailingLists".

Introduction

1.4.A briefhistoryof Wireshark

Inlate 1997,GeraldCombs neededatool fortrackingdown networkingproblemsand wantedtolearn moreabout networking,sohe startedwritingEthereal (theformername oftheWireshark project)asa wayto solvebothproblems. Etherealwas initiallyreleased,after severalpausesin development,inJuly 1998asversion 0.2.0.With- indays, patches,bugreports, andwordsof encouragementstartedarriving, soEtherealwas onitsway to success. Notlong afterthatGilbert Ramirezsawits potentialandcontributed alow-leveldissector toit. InOctober, 1998,GuyHarris ofNetworkAppliance waslookingfor somethingbetterthan tcpview,so hestarted applyingpatchesand contributingdissectorsto Ethereal. Inlate 1998,RichardSharpe, whowasgiving TCP/IPcourses,saw itspotentialon suchcourses,and startedlooking atitto seeifit supportedtheprotocols heneeded.While itdidn'tat thatpoint,new pro- tocolscould beeasilyadded. Sohestarted contributingdissectorsand contributingpatches. Thelist ofpeoplewho havecontributedto Etherealhasbecome verylongsince then,andalmost allof themstarted withaprotocol thattheyneeded thatEtherealdid notalreadyhandle. Sotheycopied anex- istingdissector andcontributedthe codebackto theteam. In2006 theprojectmoved houseandre-emerged underanew name:Wireshark.
