Filtering Packets from One Host

HTTP Analysis with Tshark

The -T option specifies that we want to extract fields and with the -e options we identify which fields we want to extract.

tshark -i eth0 -Y http.request -T fields -e http.host -e http.user_agent

Manipulating other Fields

This command will extract files from an SMB stream and extract them to the location tmpfolder.

tshark -nr test.pcap --export-objects smb,tmpfolder

This command will do the same except from HTTP, extracting all the files seen in the pcap.

tshark -nr test.pcap --export-objects http,tmpfolder
