Title: Getting Started with WireShark

This article presents WireShark, a very capable and popular graphical network protocol analyser.

Wireshark and Mountain Lion

$ wireshark 
(process:28125): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
(wireshark:28125): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 


The Wireshark Macports version does not work on Mountain Lion so I downloaded WireShark from http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.


The problem was X11. The solution can be found at: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/.

Last night (Greek time), Dimitris Tsoukalos and I presented WireShark (using Skype) for Mac Managers.

The presentation outline was the following:

• WireShark's History
• What is Wireshark?
• Installing WireShark
• Running WireShark
• Tips
• Display filters
• Two Scenarios
• Nmap
• DHCP TroubleShooting
• Web Links

If the presentation gets published (iTunes U), I will let you know.

It sounds simple...

Creators of TCPDUMP, WinPcap, and Wireshark share their awesome story
