filter for partial IP address

Question

I would like to create a display filter for an with the last 2 octets of an IP address. In this case I want to filter for the IP address xxx.xxx.149.195 . What is the display filter expression using the offset and slice operators or a wildcard expression that I would need to use?

Accepted Answer

If you are looking for a Wireshark display filter that matches either the source or the destination address, then you can use:

ip.host matches "\.149\.195$"

If you only want the source address:

ip.src_host matches "\.149\.195$"

And if you only want the destination address:

ip.dst_host matches "\.149\.195$"

For more information on wireshark filters, refer to the wireshark-filter man page. Further links are provided there for more information on the "matches" operator, although one of them appears to be broken, so you can use this one instead: https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.34/glib-regex-syntax.html.

Answer 2

Try this one:

ip[14:2] eq 95c3 or ip[18:2] eq 95c3

Answer 3

But the negative form of this does not work.

For example, if I want to filter out all traffic from 149.195../16, none of the below work. Did mrproject not post his ip address correctly? Was he trying to filter out 149.195.. or ..149.195?

ip.host !matches ".149.195$"

!ip.host matches ".149.195$"

ip.host !== ".149.195$"

I thought I had found the answer here: http://wiki.wireshark.org/DisplayFilters

!ip.host==192.168.0.0/16

but the above doesn't work, neither does ip.host != 192.168.0.0/16

Final edit:

I got it working with !ip.addr == 192.168.0.0/24. I didn't realize that ip.host is deprecated.
