I am using Wireshark for capturing the packers and Tshark for analysis purposes. When I am trying to store the Protocol Hierarchy, Endpoint statistics, Conversation statistics, and HTTP statistics result in JSON format using Tshark, I am not getting the output as I expected it to be but just a text file which I do not want. Could someone please help me to find a way out for this? I have attached the output I am getting after using the command sudo tshark -n -q -r dump.pcap -z io,phs > fff.json

The output of any the -z options is formatted plain text, redirecting the output to a file with the extension of .json won't make it into json.

You can either:

  1. Post-process the output using your language of choice.
  2. Create an enhancement request at the Wireshark GitLab Issues page.
  3. Make the required modifications to tshark yourself, or pay someone to do it. Not trivial.
