Termshark is a terminal user interface for tshark, the Wireshark command-line packet analyzer, offering Wireshark-like packet inspection in the terminal. It can read pcap files or capture live traffic, apply display filters, and reassemble TCP/UDP flows.
Use cases
- analyze pcap files in the terminal
- sniff live network traffic over ssh without a GUI
- filter packets with Wireshark display filters
- inspect TCP and UDP flows on a remote server
- view network conversations by protocol
- debug network issues on a headless machine
When to choose
- you need Wireshark-style packet analysis on a remote or headless machine
- you prefer terminal tools over GUI applications
- you want a single static executable for packet inspection
- you already use tshark and want a friendlier interface
When to avoid
- you need full Wireshark protocol dissection features termshark does not expose
- you want a graphical packet analysis experience
- you cannot install tshark on the target machine
