Hello community,
I am running OpenWrt on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I would like to install tshark, the command-line version of Wireshark. However, I am having trouble finding and installing tshark on my OpenWrt setup.
Could anyone provide guidance on how to install tshark on OpenWrt for a Raspberry Pi 4? Specifically, I am looking for:
tshark.You will need to save with tcpdump then transfer packet capture to desktop wireshark.
Thank you for the reply, mate. However, I need to run the command:
tshark -r "Captures/${filename}.pcap" -T json > "Captures/${filename}.json"
to obtain JSON data for backend work.
You need to create tshark package, it is huge with non-trivial dependencies.
I found this on GitHub: https://github.com/liudonghua/wireshark-openwrt.
Could you please check it and let me know if it's valid before I proceed with the installation?
you want fries with that ?
seems you don't install, but compile, as a 1st step.
wireshark 2.2.1 for openwrt 18.06 branch on arch X86.
are you running 18.06 ?
Model: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4
Architecture: ARMv8 Processor rev 3
Target Platform: bcm27xx/bcm2711
Firmware Version: OpenWrt 23.05.0 r23497-6637af95aa / LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch git-24.212.79335-cdbe903
I am super noob to this openwrt. I need to use tshark only for covert pcap file to json file (pcap2json, scapy, pyshark did't gave wanted output). My attempts to cross-compile (by cloning OpenWrt to my host) have been unsuccessful. My Makefile commands did not work as expected.
At least help me out for this to make correct compilation.
define Build/Compile
cd $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/tools/lemon && make
$(MAKE) $(PKG_JOBS) -C $(PKG_BUILD_DIR) \
DESTDIR="$(PKG_INSTALL_DIR)" \
CC="$(TARGET_CC)" \
install

Thank you for your help. I've tried many times, but it hasn't worked. That's why I'm seeking answers from the community again, hoping to get at least a clue!
Correct compilation of what? On what host platform?
of wireshark_4.4.0_aarch64_cortex-a72.ipk
In Makefile (define Build/compile) I have tried different types of code, including suggestions from AI, but none of them worked.
Used Kali Linux 2024.3 and Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Edit your posts taking out what was said by AI or properly attribute it.
You need to show errors you het, not AI generated file fragments.
Or install kale linux for all your json needs. It is not a valid build platform.
This is the output I got after recompile.
