Wireshark capture is using client interface

Post by obuck347 » Sun Feb 02, 2020 10:32 pm

I have edited the wireshark wrapper with the correct username and password. On my Mac client, packet capture works. On my Windows client, wireshark opens to the client pc's local LAN connection, not the lab simulation connection. What am I doing wrong?

I see...

"Connecting to "root"@10.1.0.110..."
tcpdump: listening on vunl0_3_0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes

...when opening a capture. Wireshark opens but captures my local LAN traffic interface. This happens on two Windows machines.

I resolved this issue. I rename my LAN connections "-----LAN-----" so that I can find them quickly in the ipconfig output. I renamed my LAN interface so that it does not begin with "-" like this "LAN----------"
