No Interfaces Available Using Wireshark on Mac OSX | Comments (0)

Posted in Code, Linux/Unix on 2nd June 2008, 8:10 am by Stuart

On my previous Macbook Pro I’d used Ethereal and I don’t remember having many issues with it as I was able to run it as sudo so that I had privileges for sniffing packets. Since then Ethereal has become Wireshark and it’s now available with a nice appication wrapper as a launcher for running it under X11

After opening wireshark for the first time I had an issue that there were no interfaces to choose from due to lack of permissions. This link provides a neat solution to the problem by providing a start-up item to set the relevant permissions correctly.

The nub of the solution is to make sure you have permission to read /dev/bpf*

The Troggs Tapes|(1)

It’s been a while since I heard this legendary recording of the Troggs arguing in the studio control room. The recording is said to have inspired some of the scenes in Spinal Tap. Download the .mp3 at the web archive. (Warning: This recording contains lots of expletives!!)

Dubba, dubba, dubba cha!!
