OS Information: Description: Ubuntu 14.10 So is this how it should look, is a restart required, or any command to be executed? The current solution provided does not seem to be working, this is now the new contents of my /etc/network/interfaces file: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

I know that such a thing, or at least something similar, could be done, but I just do not know the technical detail of exactly how I would get it to work, so that is really why I am asking about it here.Įven if I would not be able to get it to startup in the background on startup and start doing this by itself without launching any GUI, at least a way so that I could get it to filter and automatically save specific packets would be good (even if I would need to manually start Wireshark). It would also then be very useful for it to save the captured packets automatically that match these specifications to a directory that I would specify. I have got Wireshark installed and I am wanting to monitor the traffic to and from a specific IP address, so what would be really useful would be if I could get Wireshark to start by itself on startup and then start capturing packets on eth0 which are either from or to that specific IP address.

Wireshark capture ip address
