Just to make it clear, DO NOT RUN WIRESHARK WITH SUDO, or the equivalent on other platforms, e.g. elevated privileges on Windows. There should never be a need to do so, and if you think you need sudo then you're doing something wrong.
The reason for this is that there millions of lines of unaudited code in Wireshark that could be vulnerable to malicious network traffic which don'ta actually need to be run with admin privs.
