Is Wireshark capable of closing connections to certain ip address/urls from within the program? asked 23 Nov '15, 14:01  Benn |
One Answer:
No, Wireshark is a passive network analysis tool. It cant't send any data to the network, like TCP Resets or similar. What are you trying to do? Maybe there are other ways to achieve that. By any chance: Do you want to build some kind of IPS, based on the dissection capabilities of Wireshark? Regards answered 23 Nov '15, 14:34  Kurt Knochner ♦ |
I'm trying to find a program that can close the connection while it is running for telephone troubleshooting. I work in a phone service company and we are testing loss of connection from the ip address/url. Any programs that would be useful to me.
Please take a look at tcpkill
it's part of the dsniff suite, whhich should be part of all Linux distributions.
Great. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.
