Hi,

There is a tremendous push for automation at work, and I'm sure other enterprises have the same aspirations.  Sharkd provides all the power of Wireshark dissection and filtering in a way that can easily be driven by an automation script.

It's quite difficult to get permission to instal Wireshark, and there is zero chance of us being allowed to build a copy from source.  I'm sure similar restrictions apply to many in large organisations.

Is it possible to include sharkd in the installers?

I don't see any issue in doing so if the application is adequately documented.

However, if it's difficult to get permission to install Wireshark that doesn't include sharkd, how will you get permission to install Wireshark that does include it?


Best regards...Paul
