Wireshark 3 extcap_example.py not working on Win8.1: not capturing any "fake" packets
My sytem setup is:
- Win8.1
- Wireshark 3.0.0 (v3.0.0-0-g937e33de) installed
- Python 3.7 globally installed
- example extcap
https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark/blob/master/doc/extcap_example.py
copied intoc:\program files\wireshark\extcap
extcap-ex.bat
created inc:\program files\wireshark\extcap
which starts the installed Python 3.7 interpreter with theextcap_example.py
, passing all CLI args to it using%*
Wireshark correctly detects the extcap example plugin. The config dialog correctly comes up, but when trying to start a capture, the following error message box pops up: "No packets captured. As no data was captured, closing temporary capture file. [...]".
It makes no difference running Wireshark as admin or not.
What am I doing wrong? Or is the extcap_example broken on Win/Wireshark 3? For reference, the same extcap_example.py works correctly on Ubuntu Bionic with a development 3.1 version of Wireshark.
Any help greatly appreciated!
