Capture traffic while filtering

0

Hi, I want to start Wireshark and continue saving to a text file WHILE the capture/filter is running...but it seems I can only save the capture once I stop it, is there any way to save it while it is running?

Yes. Assuming you have the latest version, click on the Capture Interfaces button on the far left-hand side, select the interface(s) you want to capture, and click Options. Under the "Capture File(s)" section of that menu, specify the file name and the stop criteria (if you want automatic stop criteria other than clicking the "Stop" button). Since you want to capture in real-time as well, make sure the "Update list of packets in real time" option and click Start.
