Hey,
So I got MacBook M1 and having trouble in starting packet captures. Wireshark requires "ChmodBPF" package which I have installed but still having issues with it.
Can someone please help as without the ability of capturing packets, the tool is not much of a use :(
I am surprised that on MacBook its having issues.
Are you running Ventura? This worked for me https://ask.wireshark.org/question/29...
ChmodBPF does a UNIX "chmod" command to change the permission bits on all the BPF devices, so that Wireshark (well, Wireshark's dumpcap program) can open them without root privileges. The /dev/bpf files are not stored on a file system that exists after a reboot - the file system is recreated from scratch after a reboot (it's the macOS devfs), so the permission changes are lost after a reboot.
This means that you need to run the ChmodBPF script after every reboot. Wireshark installs it in a fashion that should cause it to be run automatically after every reboot, but something about Ventura 13.1 is causing that not to happen. This is a known issue.
