I am trying to automate the process of capturing network packets send by a particular application.I don't have problem in windows as I am using Microsoft Network Monitoring tool and that gives all the traffic send based on the process.Now the problem is that we need to achieve the same result in mac as well.
We used Wire-shark in mac for capturing network traffic after a long research but still wireshark does not capture by process name.We tried some tools that captures based on process name but with very limited information. We need the full packet informations to be captured.
What will be the best way to achieve the result in mac as like we are getting in windows?
what all parameters can be used to filter the wanted data...?
I am in fact trying to get the port number used by the process but is that a right approach ? I am not sure we can zero down based on port number.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance...
You can use lsof command, but it's more complex than netstat.
Here is a guide: lsof survival guide

I am working on Franca IDL and trying to implement the SOME/IP two device communication. I am referring the below links:
https://at.projects.genivi.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5472320
https://github.com/GENIVI/vsomeip/wiki/vsomeip-in-10-minutes#request
Current Setup:
Ubuntu 18.04 (two machines - Server & Client)
Two Machines connected over ethernet
But am actually confused between SOME/IP and VSOME/IP. Anyhow I went with the link [1] I could able to achieve communication between the processes running on the single local machine. I failed in two 2 device communication.
Later I followed the same in in link [2] but even here I was able to achieve communication between the processes running on the single local machine. I failed in two 2 device communication but server was running in one device and client was running on another but no communication achieved.
I came across this VSOMEIP - Communication between 2 devices (TCP/UDP) Not working post here but couldn't get how to proceed further.
My actual aim is to achieve two device communication using Franca IDL and SOME/IP i.e link [1]. But I am not finding any single source so that I can at least look into it.
Any suggestions will help me a lot. Thanks in advance.
After working for few hours now the quick update is, As suggested in the VSOMEIP - Communication between 2 devices (TCP/UDP) Not working I used the shell script now the client and server are detecting each other over ethernet. But the function call is not happening. Client is not sending the request to the server. To be more clear in the given example (https://at.projects.genivi.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5472320) the on_availability is working but on_message is not working. We are struggling a lot. Any suggestion will help us a lot.
My work computer is using an insane amount of data every month. It is driving my ISP costs through the roof.
Is there a way in command line to list all the "Devices/Objects" on the network to see what is using all my data?
You can monitor your network traffic using: netstat -e
Please read this article :
https://www.petri.com/netstat-command-monitor-network-traffic
Also why don't you try to use Resource Monitor- it is available in all windows Machines.
It will tell you how much data is used by what app.
I've searched a while for something that can count connected users on wireless interface in Edgerouter Lite and I can't find anything about this in documentation.
I'm wondering if someone hit this problem so far ?
I also using also cacti if someone discovered the OID will be awesome.
You can write a script the logs into the box and gets the information you need. Cacti can call the script during polling.
I have a problem where I need to check the TCP packets on a machine.
We use a closed source VOIP system here and I want to open a program when an incoming calls happens.
The VOIP system's software shows the call, however has no functionality to call external software.
I used Wireshark to capture my PCs packets and I'm able to filter the packets easily by
ip.src==AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD && giop.request_op == "pushEvents" && giop.len > 300 && tcp contains "CallInfo"
Now I can work with this package if my custom software could read the package from pipe
Is there a library for purebasic that can do this capturing and filtering??
Alternatively Is there a way to trigger wireshark (console start) so it outputs the filtered data to pipe? (I noticed tshark could do this but does not support this display filter)
Thanks for any constructive answer not hitting me for rtfm ;-)
tshark is just a terminal/console interface to the same engine as GUI Wireshark. It should support all the same protocol dissectors and display filters as GUI app.
I'm pretty sure you're doing something wrong while launching it. Please provide more info why you didn't manage to get tshark working.
To solve your problem: I would launch a tshark with the filter you've come up with so only those packets are displayed on the output. Then I would pipe the output to the simple python/bash/whatever script that launches the app you want on every line of input.
You will also need to take care of specific situations like:
ensure the input line is what it was supposed to be (you can get error lines etc from tshark)
perhaps avoid launching the app if it's already running
I am trying to find a solution to monitor the traffic (in and out) through a specific port. It is not required to capture the packets, or do anyting else. What it does is to be a traffic listener to make sure there are messages sent to or received from this port every 10 minutes. It has to be running at the background all the time (like a daemon), and without significant performance impact. Based on my research, one choice is to use an existing tool to do that. There are a bunch of tools out there to monitor or sniff the traffic, such as wireshark. Well, seems most of them monitor the traffic passing through a interface, instead of a port, or they can't run as a daemon. Another choice to write a program to do this. SharpPcap seems to be a good choice, but I still need to capture and analyze the packets to know whether such traffic exist. Could somebody suggest what I should do?
SharpPcap handles packet capturing in the same manner as Wireshark, so you can set filters to limit the packet being captured to a specific port the same way in SharpPcap as you can in wireshark. Except, SharpPcap will be a much lighter weight option vs wireshark.
Download the SharpPcap source tree and look at the Example05.SetFilter.
To narrow down the results so you capture only the packets you want to see you'll need to employ a few filters.
Pcap uses a common language across all applications that use it do specify the filters to set. Capture programs that use winpcap (windows) or libpcap (*nix) include, sharppcap, wireshark, pcap.net, winpcap, libpcap, tcpdump, etc... For a great resource on how to use pcap filters see this link.
Here are the filters you need:
ether host ehost
port port
Where the ehost is the MAC address of the computer sending/receiving the packets and the port is the port you want to monitor. So the full filter string would be.
SetFilter("ether host ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and port 60");
The MAC and port here are for illustration purposes only, you'd obviously change them with the values that pertain to your specific setup.
This, used in the SetFilter example will simply print out a line of info with the time of when the packet was captured to the command line every time a packet is captured and meets the criteria if your filter.
If you want more detailed info about the packet, such as info from the headers or the packet's payload, you'll need to parse the incoming raw packet. Be sure to ask for help on the sourceforge project's forum if you need some tips on how to do this. The project developers are very active and always willing to help.
The best way that will limit the impact your tool will have on performance is via an ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) Real-time Consumer (i.e. a tool that activates an ETW trace and reads it immediately instead of saving it to a file). This MSDN sample is a great way to see how to do this via C# and it gives you some code to get started.
