wireshark-chmodbpf (net/wireshark-chmodbpf) Updated: 2 years, 6 months ago Add to my watchlist

Enable Wireshark to acces macOS capture devices.

An access_bpf group will be created and its members allowed access to BPF devices at boot to allow unprivileged packet captures. It is meant to support Wireshark where unprivileged access to macOS packet capture devices is desired.

Port notes

To fully complete your installation and use Wireshark
to capture from devices (like network interfaces) please run:

sudo dseditgroup -q -o edit -a [USER] -t user access_bpf

and change [USER] to the user that needs access to the devices.
A reboot should not be required for this to take effect. A startup item has been generated that will start wireshark-chmodbpf with launchd, and will be enabled automatically on activation. Execute the following command to manually _disable_ it:

sudo port unload wireshark-chmodbpf
