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 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.
just started with wireshark and tcpdump,
they both work fine if I capture traffic on my IP but doesn`t capture anything on other sources (other IP on my network)
my setup : 1 pc running windows 8(ip 192.168.0.2), 1 laptop running ubuntu(192.168.0.3).
Both connected to a cheap unmanaged 5 port switch , that is connected to my router.
Both wired, even tried with the laptop on wireless mode.
if I run tcpdump on my laptop with filters: host 192.168.0.2(computer IP add) it does not capture anything!
Same if I run wireshark on my computer but use filters such as dest 192.168.0.3 (laptops IP)
Tried tcpdump with net 192.168.0.0/24 (should be capturing traffic from my whole network)... same result , captures only traffic that is destined to my IP (laptop from witch I am runing the command)
Tried setting to Promiscuous ON , on both the laptop and pc , same result.
Any ideea why I am not being able to capture anything from other IP addresses?
"Both connected to a cheap unmanaged 5 port switch"
As you've already discovered, your current capture setup won't work. From the Wireshark CaptureSetup/Ethernet wiki page:
In addition, if you are on a switched Ethernet, rather than a shared
Ethernet, you will also have to take action to ensure that all traffic
in which you're interested is sent to the Ethernet adapter on the
machine running the packet capture program; that is not, by default,
the case on switched networks, so attempts to capture on a switched
network will, by default, see only traffic that the capturing machine
would see when not in promiscuous mode.
Refer to that same page for a number of solutions, including using a TAP, a managed switch, or even a hub (if you can even find one and have no other choice), just to name a few.
In addition to the Wireshark wiki page, I'd also highly recommend reading the very talented Jasper Bongertz's 6-part Network Capture Playbook series:

I am new in Wireshark. My question is about Telnet and Eclipse. I have a program who communicate with Telnet. As you see in picture, When I write "a" in Telnet, [97] can be seen in Eclipse console as ASCII.
When i check Wireshark, I can not see any traffic on Telnet. When I filter as "ip.dst==10.10.10.12 && tcp.dstport==5000" or "tcp.port==23" or "Telnet", there is no data in wireshark. I guess, there is a problem in wireshark to see Telnet communication. How can i solve this problem?
Please check the screenshot.
Thanks in advance.Screenshot:
I assume your machine's IP address is 10.10.10.12 and that you are telneting from your machine to itself, right?
I don't know Windows, especially how network data are captured by a program like Wireshark, so I may be completely wrong. But I bet Wireshark on Windows can only see packets that actually use your network adapter (WLAN), i.e. which come from or go to an external machine. Traffic that stay inside your machine is probably invisible to it and to any program of that kind (because it's an limitation of the OS).
Instead of telneting to your WLAN IP address, you may try telneting to localhost (127.0.0.x) and make Wireshark spy on the loopback interface.
I am a complete novice to this... I have a webcam behind my router, and it's configured to be accessible on a particular port (e.g. 30000) using a port forwarding configuration. It has a fixed IP in my network.
Using wireshark, I can see the camera responding to requests coming from within my network (i.e. another client), and this does not use port forwarding.
However, when I access the camera from outside my network (i.e. using external IP plus port), wireshark does not show anything (but I see the camera streaming on the client).
I use wireshark on ubuntu, eth0, and ip.addr == 192.168.x.y as filter
When the camera was streaming data to the internal client, were you also capturing packets with Wireshark on that same client? I'm guessing that you were, which is why you saw the data.
When the camera streams to a client on an external network, the stream flows through the router, but your client is likely plugged into another switch port on the back of your router, and the router doesn't forward the packets to that port, which is why you don't see them.
In order to observe the packets, you would need to configure your capture PC such that it can capture the packets. There are a few different methods to achieve this, for example, using a hub, a SPAN/mirror port on a managed switch if you have one, or a TAP. I would recommend reading the detailed information available on the Wireshark Ethernet capture setup wiki page, which describes several different methods for successfully capturing Ethernet frames and provides helpful pictures as well. Choose a capture scenario that best meets your needs (and $$ budget).
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.
