# vmnet-shark

The ```vmnet-shark``` tool allows you to perform real-time packet capture and display for VMware Fusion networks with Wireshark.

## Prerequisites

  1. [VMware Fusion](https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion.html)

  2. [Wireshark](https://www.wireshark.org)

## Installation

```console

$ cd /usr/local/bin

$ sudo curl -Lo vmnet-shark https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mweisel/vmnet-shark/master/vmnet-shark.sh

$ sudo chmod +x ./vmnet-shark

```

## Usage

> **Note**: VMware Fusion 11 Pro added a feature for renaming custom networks. The ```vmnet-shark``` tool only supports the default vmnet (e.g., vmnet0, vmnet1, vmnet2, etc.) name format.



```console

$ vmnet-shark vmnet11

```
