Wireshark also puts the user who installs Wireshark into the 'accessbpf' group, but it doesn't put any other user into that group. If the user who installs Wireshark isn't an admin user, that means that 1) the user who installs Wireshark has permission to capture and 2) whatever account is the admin user doesn't have permission to capture.
Wireshark Download For Mac 10.11 Os
Hi, first visit. I had some odd crashes during last night, older Wireshark was running at the time (not sure how to determine version if needed, is there an installations log) I'd guess v2.x. WS has been running most of recent week, normally 20Mb/day but last night 333Mb logged, I saved the capture OK but it then hung.All 3 crashes seemed not to produce logs in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ -even more odd
(The other 2 apps to crash were lnav and Thunderbird. TB is the target of my research at present.)Force quit and restart (the old version WS) hung in progress bar something like 'loading module preferences' but I could not find any candidate prefs file!
- Wireshark not opening on OS X Yosemite. No Interface to capture traffic - OSX 10.10 - Wireshark 1.99.5. Mac OSX 10.5 New install crashes periodically. Wireshark doesn't find X11 (XQuartz-2.7.7) Wireshark crashes on OSX 10.5 on startup, from macports. Wireshark not working on Mac.
- Mac OS X 10.6 Installation problem Is there any way to see the codecs used in voip application in wireshark(G729,AMR.) Wireshark 1.99.6 for Mac OSX 10.10.3: Can´t open preferences file.
- Wireshark is the world’s foremost and widely-used network protocol analyzer. It lets you see what’s happening on your network at a microscopic level and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many commercial and non-profit enterprises, government agencies, and educational institutions.
https://yellownet942.weebly.com/final-draft-11-download-free-mac.html. I'm reluctant to reboot I must add; I have a ramdisk with a great deal of complex permissions and ACLs so though the data is backed regularly & should survive I want to avoid a rebuild..
I have also been running tcpdump during most of this last week. I have stopped it while rerunning some attempts at running WS, no difference. Tcpdump runs fine..
I went to get new WS 2.6.5, installed and ran that. 4 hangs no full runs, same if I tried to open old cap files.Runs to 85% progress and hangs at “Finding local interfaces”(Progress bar at window bottom says Please wait while initialising…), take a sample force quit. Rerun, samea .hang spin dump was also generated looks like it is just waiting some child… Syslog:

OP further note: I want Wireshark as its detail analysis of TCP packet timings was showing highlighted retransmissions that I simply was not able to spot in the stream from tcpdump. Also the filtering options at both capture and then display give me an extra set of useful options. I read something about running tcpdump with -I (cap i) but is this a change recently? I was fine capturing what I needed for over a week before last night!
Further: all 3 apps that crashed/hung were working together. Wireshark monitoring my wifi traffic, TB creating the traffic plus creating MOZ_LOG file of IMAP traffic and lastly LNAV collating all logging data
First, note:
- a program that just 'chooses to give up' by exiting won't produce a crash report;
- logs may also appear in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports;
so the lack of logs in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports may have a simple explanation.
Tcpdump runs fine..
Does it run if you just run it without sudo, or do you have to run it with sudo?
And what does
ls -l /dev/bpf0
print?Force quit and restart (the old version WS) hung in progress bar something like 'loading module preferences' but I could not find any candidate prefs file!
~/.config/wireshark/preferences? ~/.wireshark/preferences?
Thanks Guy:
2 of the 3 asked if I wanted to send crash reports. I said yes to Thunderbird and no to LNAV.tcpdump has always been run under sudo, my UI login is not admin but in terminal I su -l to an admin enabled pid.
ls -l /dev/bpf0
crw-rw---- 1 root access_bpf 23, 0 27 Oct 19:29 /dev/bpf0
Thanks for the clue on WS prefs. recent & recent_common files are old and look like from earlier versions and now unused, the files etc they ref are from Aug though I have done much more since then..

The amount of resources Wireshark needs depends on your environment and on thesize of the capture file you are analyzing. The values below should be fine forsmall to medium-sized capture files no more than a few hundred MB. Largercapture files will require more memory and disk space.
Busy networks mean large captures |
---|
A busy network can produce huge capture files. Capturing oneven a 100 megabit network can produce hundreds of megabytes ofcapture data in a short time. A computer with a fast processor, and lots ofmemory and disk space is always a good idea. |
If Wireshark runs out of memory it will crash. Seehttps://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/wikis/KnownBugs/OutOfMemory for details and workarounds.

Although Wireshark uses a separate process to capture packets, the packetanalysis is single-threaded and won’t benefit much from multi-core systems.
Wireshark should support any version of Windows that is still within itsextended supportlifetime. At the time of writing this includes Windows 10, 8.1,Server 2019,Server 2016,Server 2012 R2,and Server 2012.It also requires the following:
- The Universal C Runtime. This is included with Windows 10 and WindowsServer 2019 and is installed automatically on earlier versions ifMicrosoft Windows Update is enabled. Otherwise you must installKB2999226 orKB3118401.
- Any modern 64-bit AMD64/x86-64 or 32-bit x86 processor.
- 500 MB available RAM. Larger capture files require more RAM.
- 500 MB available disk space. Capture files require additional disk space.
- Any modern display. 1280 × 1024 or higher resolution isrecommended. Wireshark will make use of HiDPI or Retina resolutions ifavailable. Power users will find multiple monitors useful.
- A supported network card for capturing
- Ethernet. Any card supported by Windows should work. See the wiki pages onEthernet capture andoffloading for issues thatmay affect your environment.
- 802.11. See the Wiresharkwiki page. Capturing raw 802.11 information may be difficult withoutspecial equipment.
- Other media. See https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/wikis/CaptureSetup/NetworkMedia.
Older versions of Windows which are outside Microsoft’s extended lifecyclesupport window are no longer supported. It is often difficult or impossible tosupport these systems due to circumstances beyond our control, such as thirdparty libraries on which we depend or due to necessary features that are onlypresent in newer versions of Windows such as hardened security or memorymanagement.
- Wireshark 3.2 was the last release branch to officially support Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
- Wireshark 2.2 was the last release branch to support Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 sans R2
- Wireshark 1.12 was the last release branch to support Windows Server 2003.
- Wireshark 1.10 was the last release branch to officially support Windows XP.
See the Wiresharkrelease lifecycle page for more details.
Wireshark supports macOS 10.12 and later.Similar to Windows, supported macOS versions depend on third party libraries and on Apple’s requirements.
- Wireshark 2.6 was the last release branch to support Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7 and OS X 10.8 to 10.11.
- Wireshark 2.0 was the last release branch to support OS X on 32-bit Intel.
- Wireshark 1.8 was the last release branch to support Mac OS X on PowerPC.
