Visited Websites

0

How do I view visited websites from a computer on my network. I would like to see what websites my children are viewing. I'm able to start a capture, but the results do not produce website names or URL addresses.

You can print the URLs with tshark. You need to capture the traffic first with Wireshark or dumpcap and write it to input.pcap.

tshark -nr input.cap -R http.request -T fields -e frame.time -e ip.src -e http.request.full_uri

However, Wireshark is a network troubleshooting system. It's not a good solution for long term monitoring or as a parental control system.

I suggest to buy some software that logs and restricts access to the internet if you want to protect your kiddies. Please google for: parental control software
