I'm new to networking in general, but I have some experience using sockets in C, etc. So I'm familiar with it. I need to view the traffic of a file that's being downloaded on OSX by a system process that's completely unrelated to the web browser; I'm pretty sure it's doing this over TCP. I'm on a wireless network and I have access to my router, if that helps. Is this simple, or does it require explicit configuration? If it does, any useful info or good links to look at? |
Sure. Here is some reading material: Capturing on a wired network: https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Ethernet Capturing on a wireless network: https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/WLAN My recommendation would be to try to use the wired solution. |
