# Termshark
A terminal user-interface for tshark, inspired by Wireshark.

**V2.4 is out now with packet search and profiles for colors and columns! See the [ChangeLog](CHANGELOG.md#changelog).**

![demo24](/../gh-pages/images/demo4.gif?raw=true)

If you're debugging on a remote machine with a large pcap and no desire to scp it back to your desktop, termshark can help!

## Features

- Read pcap files or sniff live interfaces (where tshark is permitted)
- Filter pcaps or live captures using Wireshark's display filters
- Reassemble and inspect TCP and UDP flows
- View network conversations by protocol
- Copy ranges of packets to the clipboard from the terminal
- Written in Golang, compiles to a single executable on each platform - downloads available for Linux, macOS, BSD variants, Android (termux) and Windows

tshark has many more features that termshark doesn't expose yet! See [What's Next](docs/FAQ.md#whats-next).

## Install Packages

Termshark is pre-packaged for the following platforms: [Arch Linux](docs/Packages.md#arch-linux), [Debian (unstable)](docs/Packages.md#debian), [FreeBSD](docs/Packages.md#freebsd), [Homebrew](docs/Packages.md#homebrew), [MacPorts](docs/Packages.md#macports), [Kali Linux](docs/Packages.md#kali-linux), [NixOS](docs/Packages.md#nixos), [SnapCraft](docs/Packages.md#snapcraft), [Termux (Android)](docs/Packages.md#termux-android) and [Ubuntu](docs/Packages.md#ubuntu).

## Building

Termshark uses Go modules. Set `GO111MODULE=on` then run:

```bash
go install github.com/gcla/termshark/v2/cmd/[email protected]
```

For versions of Go between 1.14 and 1.17, use

```bash
go get github.com/gcla/termshark/v2/cmd/termshark
```

Then add ```~/go/bin/``` to your ```PATH```.

For all packet analysis, termshark depends on tshark from the Wireshark project. Make sure ```tshark``` is in your ```PATH```.

## Quick Start

Inspect a local pcap:

```bash
termshark -r test.pcap
```

Capture ping packets on interface ```eth0```:

```bash
termshark -i eth0 icmp
```

Run ```termshark -h``` for options.

## Downloads

Pre-compiled executables are available via [Github releases](https://github.com/gcla/termshark/releases). Or download the latest build from the master branch - [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/gcla/termshark.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/gcla/termshark).

## Documentation

See the [termshark user guide](docs/UserGuide.md), and my best guess at some [FAQs](docs/FAQ.md). For a summary of updates, see the [ChangeLog](CHANGELOG.md#changelog).

## Dependencies

Termshark depends on these open-source packages:

- [tshark](https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html) - command-line network protocol analyzer, part of [Wireshark](https://wireshark.org)
- [tcell](https://github.com/gdamore/tcell) - a cell based terminal handling package, inspired by termbox
- [gowid](https://github.com/gcla/gowid) - compositional terminal UI widgets, inspired by [urwid](http://urwid.org), built on [tcell](https://github.com/gdamore/tcell)

Note that tshark is a run-time dependency, and must be in your ```PATH``` for termshark to function. Version 1.10.2 or higher is required (approx 2013).
