#30 No capture interfaces available in Wireshark (non-root)

Milestone: WTF v2.0

Status: closed

Labels: None

Priority: 1

Updated: 2014-08-16

Created: 2012-09-24

Private: No

No capture interfaces are available in Wireshark running as a non-root user, like samurai, that is, when it runs from the GUI menu.

Solution:
Linux capabilities must be enabled on dumpcap:
$ sudo setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap

Fix coming soon! :)
