Hi Stephen, 2014-11-28 20:23 GMT+01:00 Stephen Fisher <sfisher () sdf org>:
I've started tinkering with the possibility of making a curses text based GUI for Wireshark (cshark, I suppose). I started by making a new directory under ui/ for it and creating dummy functions for things that the main code base runs (such as file.c) to display things in the user interface. I've wanted such a feature so many times over the years when I'm logged into a remote box. That way I wouldn't have to capture packets and then transfer them to another machine for analysis (or do X forwarding).
While I would not stop you from starting a nice big interesting project you can already run Wireshark remotely via HTTP using GTK+ 3's Broadway backend. You just need to use a tunnel for HTTP and it works way better on high-latency networks than X forwarding. I attached a screnshot to show it really works. ;-) Cheers, Balint
