Cheers I've given you some feedback. You should use a debugger like pdb separately or as part of a tool like PyCharm.

2019-08-13 07:05:59 +0000 marked best answer How does tshark read files with dns entries saved with -H?

Description

Documentation says that -H, (which implies -Wn) writes data to pcapng files. With a local hosts file, when I try

bash$ ping 8.8.8.8 &
bash$ tshark -c 10 -f icmp -w temp.pcapng 
bash$ tshark -r temp.pcapng -H hosts -w temp2.pcapng

I see normal traffic with no modifications to display of IP address. Local hosts file looks something like this:

127.0.0.1      localhost
192.168.0.1    this_computer
8.8.8.8        google_dns

I can see that a pcapng Name Resolution Block exists with xxd:

bash$ xxd temp2.pcapng | grep this -B 5 -A 5

Question

When I use tshark -r temp2.pcapng -NNn I see IP to name mappings (names I see are mbp.attlocal.net and dns.google). Using both Wireshark and tshark -r temp2.pcapng -Nd, I do not see "this_computer" or "google_dns" in place of IP addresses. How can I see the data stored in the Name Resolution Block with tshark?

2019-08-13 05:15:19 +0000 marked best answer tshark ring-buffer duration vs interval

I am looking at the documentation for tshark -b, and it's unclear to me what the difference is between "interval" and "duration". Both are in seconds and at the end of NUM seconds, the file rotates.

For example, what is the difference between these two commands?

tshark -b files:5 -b duration:10 -w file
tshark -b files:5 -b interval:10 -w file

In both cases, I see the filename endings change and increase by 10 about every 10s that look something like this:

bash:/tmp/duration-test$ ls -1

According to the docs, it looks like the system provides arp translations. Is it possible to access this via a profile file (to save/load for a specific capture)?
