Setting network privileges for dumpcap
1. Ensure your linux kernel and filesystem supports File Capabilities and also you have installed necessary tools.
2. "setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap"
3. Start Wireshark as non-root and ensure you see the list of interfaces and can do live capture.
Limiting capture permission to only one group
1. Create user "wireshark" in group "wireshark".
2. "chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap"
3. chmod 754 /usr/bin/dumpcap
4. "setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap"
5. Ensure Wireshak works only from root and from a user in the "wireshark" group
注意, 如果是自己通过源代码编译安装的wireshark一般默认路径是安装在/usr/local/bin/dumpcap, 所以需要指定正确的路径。
这个链接是在第一次使用root运行wireshark抓包显示的, 我想大部分人应该不会去注意提示信息吧。
