Tip of the week 37
Running Wireshark as a non root
There is two different ways :
1/ On Debian based distributions :
~ sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common
Then, just select yes and add your user to the wireshark group :
~ sudo adduser MYUSER wireshark
2/ On other distros (you can do it on debian distibutions too) :
~ sudo chgrp adm /usr/bin/dumpcap
~ sudo chmod 750 /usr/bin/dumpcap
~ sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip /usr/bin/dumpcap
And you have to add your user in the adm group :
~ sudo adduser MYUSER adm
Note : Please be sure of what you're doing, this process may add some security risks to your system
