Limit ethernet devices

0

Hi there,

Is possible to limit capture devices only to group members? like wireshark group can capture only on ethernet device eth0 where another group can capture only on eth1 ?

(i've already done the http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges)

You'll have to specify the platform. On Linux I'm not sure, since it's capability based, on MAC OSX it may be possible through bpf permissions.

On Linux and Windows that's not possible without a code change. Regarding Mac OSX, I don't know.
