I thought i will never need a windows machine again. Does Wireshark work on Chromebook asked 13 Jun '15, 10:45  rarriz edited 15 Jun '15, 02:10  grahamb ♦ |
One Answer:
ChromeOS is (more or less) a Linux Kernel with the Chrome browser running on top, so allmost all applications are web-centric, meaning online applications running in a browser. This makes it impossible to run Wireshark on top of a standard ChromeOS. If you want to run Wireshark, please have a look at Crouton or Chrubuntu (please google that yourself). As an alternative, you can use a web service like http://cloudshark.org for online capture file analysis. Regards answered 14 Jun '15, 22:43  Kurt Knochner ♦ |
