One Answer:
You can't run Wireshark on an android device directly, root or no root. The trick to run Wireshark on an android device is by using Lil' Debi, which installs a Debian subsystem on the phone. So if you want Wireshark, you need root and Lil' Debi. If you can live with packet capture and analyzing it in Wireshark after transfer, you might want to check out tPacketCapture, which uses the VPNService of Android to get access to the data, so there's no root required. answered 05 Jun '16, 04:19  Jasper ♦♦ |
