Hi Peter,
Thanks for adding termshark to the wiki. I have to admit, somewhat sheepishly, that I was not aware of sharkd... I will definitely look into that. Just one day in, several people have already requested stream reassembly as a feature!
All the best,
Graham
(+cc wireshark-dev since some may find this interesting.)
Hi Graham,
This looks neat, I have added it to the wiki:
https://wiki.wireshark.org/Tools
Are you aware of sharkd? For interactive use it might be a more suitable
backend than tshark. sharkd is part of Wireshark and was developed by
Jakub Zawadzki who wrote it for use with Webshark, https://webshark.io/
Use of that interface could make things like Follow Stream much easier
since you do not have to manually parse the tshark output and can
instead read JSON. As the "d" in sharkd might suggest, this process
remains up and running until you force it to quit.
The main logic is implemented in
https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark/blob/master/sharkd_session.c
with corresponding tests in
https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark/blob/master/test/suite_sharkd.py
If you encounter any limitations or have suggestions, please let us
know. Thanks :)
Kind regards,
Peter
