Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Can I see all protocol dissection through tshark?

Thanks Mr. Blok,

 

I was actually trying to do it this way, and just in case added now the –R option as you had it:

tshark -i 4 -w c:\_LAB\out.cap -R http.request –V

But I get in the output file only raw compressed HTTP data, and not the full tree. Do I need to configure something else in the environment to make it work?

 

Thanks,

Tal

Yes, you can use the "-V" command line option to see the complete dissection tree:

$ tshark -r client.cap -R http.request -c1 -V)

Subject: Can I see all protocol dissection through tshark?

 

Hi,

 

I am fairly new and am still learning the basics.

I am trying to use tshark for background only capturing and analysis (no display needed\wanted).

I am seeing in the captured stream only the pcap protocols such as TCP.

 

My need is to dissect the packets also for all the additional protocols as supported in the Wireshark UI (HTTP, FTP, TELNET …).

Is it possible through tshark (or any other non UI way)?

 

Thanks,

Tal
