I know how to use wireshark to show one tcpdump result using ssh. But now I want to debug kubernetes network. There will be multiple nodes and I need to capture all the packets. So I must run tcpdump on each nodes. Is it possible to combine tcpdump output and show in one wireshark?
Yes, Wireshark can merge capture files. Refer to the section on Merging capture files in the Wireshark User Guide for all the information you need. Alternatively, you can use the mergecap command-line tool, which is part of the suite of Wireshark command-line tools, to merge the files. There may be other tools of interest that can probably help you here as well; try searching for "merge" on the Wireshark Tools wiki page.
I have found out a solution.
Using gretap to connect all hosts into one bridge. And use tc mirror to mirror all packets to this bridge. Then just capture this bridge, I can get all the packets now.

I have captured some packets in Wireshark and need to replay those again in any way.
The Wireshark wiki Tools page lists many packet capture related tools, among them some tools that can replay packets such as Bit-Twist, PlayCap, Scapy, tcpreplay and several others.
I just had to do this on a Windows machine. Most all of the methods required a UNIX machine or cygwin. Colasoft Packet Player worked great without having dependencies on other software or drivers.
Im trying to capture traffic of all mininet hosts in one wireshark file. For example, I have 3 hosts in mininet, but I dont want 3 different wireshark files (like from xterm), but only one wireshark file, where will be traffic of all 3 hosts captured.
Is it possible in mininet? When I tried:
mininet> sh wireshark
Only traffic between switches is possible to capture.
Using the above command you can open wireshark. Although, You have to configure wireshark. Which ports do you want to analyze? Please check this video
I am able to capture only the packets routed through my NIC, but I want to sniff all the packets from other PC(s) connected to the same local wireless network. I am using Wireshark, but it cannot sniff the packets from the remote IP(s) connected to the same local network (created by a wireless router).
You haven't provided much detail about your capture setup - in particular what OS your capture PC is running or what hardware you have. The best advice I can give you to start with is to visit the Wireshark WLAN (IEEE 802.11) capture setup wiki page and carefully read its contents, particularly those sections that best relate to your system. At the very least, you will need to be able to place your wireless NIC into monitor mode, and the method by which you do that is OS dependent, so do visit that wiki page for more details.
If you happen to be running Windows and you are unable to place your NIC into monitor mode using Wireshark or you don't have an adaptor (such as an Airpcap adaptor) capable of capturing the traffic, or npcap doesn't work for you, then you might want to try other tools besides Wireshark, such as Microsoft's Network Monitor or their newer Message Analyzer capture tools.
Lastly, if nothing else works, then you might want to visit the Wireshark Tools wiki page to try to find other potential tools that might work for you in your particular capture environment.
You can use the Cain and Abel sniffing tool. It is very easy one. You can sniff packets by Cain and Abel and log them using WireShark.
You can download it from https://web.archive.org/web/20190603235413/http://www.oxid.it/cain.html
I need to make tcpdump using wireshark or tcpdump
For some tcp streams in log I need full packet info.
But for tcp streams in log I need to remove all info except full uri info.
For this I'am going to use regular expressions.
If URI, http.request or http.response match some of regular expressions
then I need to store full tcp stream info.
If doesn't match --- then I need to remove all tcp stream info except full uri info.
I need it to reduce log size.
What tool do you advise for this ?
Or may be some php/python library will be helpful to create script that will filter log ?
tcpick and tcpxtract are two tools available to filter and extract information from a tcpdump file. They are both open-source and available at sourceforge.net. You will have to write your own routine for how and what information you would like to extract. tcpick is fairly flexible regarding what parts of a packet you can view/extract.
I use TraceWrangler in my projects, which despite being beta, works very well. It allows, in addition to editing the L2/L3 headers, to sanitize the packets.
I would like to capture the "incoming" interface and "outgoing" interface for packets transiting through a software switch (assume it has 10 ports and I want to know which of those 10 interfaces a particular packet came from). I can't seem to find any way to get "tcpdump -i any" to output the arriving or outgoing interfaces. It only gives fields of the packet. Is there any other derivative of tcpdump (like tshark perhaps?) which will enable extracting the port information? The intention is tracing a packet flow path through a network. Regards.
tcpdump 4.10 should include this feature (hasn't been released as of today).
Meanwhile you can use Sebastian Haas's script.
