How to install Wireshark 2.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 with Iperf dissector compatibility

To install this last version of wireshark, follow these steps:

wget https://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/src/wireshark-2.3.0-947-g5a12a5e.tar.xz
tar xvf wireshark-2.3.0-947-g5a12a5e.tar.xz
cd wireshark-2.3.0-947-g5a12a5e
./autogen.sh

 ./autogen.sh: 1: ./autogen.sh: libtool: not found

 You must have libtool 2.2.2 or later installed to compile Wireshark.
Download the appropriate package for your distribution/OS,
or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libtool/

Libtool usually already exists in the system, but with a different name. To solve it, just create a symbolic link with the name that autogen.sh expected:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/libtoolize /usr/bin/libtool

Now, continue:

./autogen.sh
./configure  --with-lua

 checking for the location of lua.h... not found

configure: error: Lua support was requested, but is not available

 You need to install liblua5.2-dev, because liblua5.3-dev is not recognized by wireshark by default. Wireshark for windows and OSX are based on liblua5.2.

sudo apt-get install liblua5.2-dev
./configure  --with-lua
make -j$(nproc)

sudo wireshark   
wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: libwscodecs.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To fix, run ldconfig as root:

sudo ldconfig
sudo wireshark   


Now, to enable iperf UDP compatibility, you need download the plugin from my project and put it in the wireshark plugin folder by default:

git clone https://github.com/dragonxtek/iperf_dissector.git
cd iperf_dissector
mkdir ~/.config/wireshark/plugins
cp iperf.lua ~/.config/wireshark/plugins/


UPDATE: For wireshark 2.6.x the plugins path is another. You must do the following:

sudo mkdir /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wireshark/plugins/2.6/lua
cp iperf.lua /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wireshark/plugins/2.6/lua/

 





Enjoy it!

Exception: Could not find a default OpenFlow controller in Mininet

If you try to run a mininet script like this  , maybe you will get this problem if you are under Ubuntu. Exception: Could not find a default OpenFlow controller  This is trigger because your system don't find a default controller . To enable it just add the first line and add the controller argument to net variable like the second line: from mininet.node import OVSController net = Mininet(topo=topo,host=CPULimitedHost, link=TCLink,controller = OVSController) Now, you will get the following error: c0 Cannot find required executable ovs-controller. Please make sure that it is installed and available in your $PATH: (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin) ovs-controller is a legacy name. You need to be sure that you has it. sudo apt-get install openvswitch-testcontroller sudo cp /usr/bin/ovs-testcontroller /usr/bin/ovs-controller If you run it again, you should kill ovs-testcontroller first to avoid this: Exception: Please s...

How to fix Android when developer options are not available for this user

Image
I have an Android One with Oreo version and suddenly my Android rebooted and after that it started to behave strangely: 1) Notification section doesn't work. I can't see notifications from my apps and the arrow and the screw icon to settings access don't work. 2) As I can't access to the notification area, I can't enable Use USB to Transfer Files to access to my phone memory. 3) I can't access to developer mode (I before active it with a lot of taps over Build number). Clicking on developer options just shows developer options are not available to this user. 4) I can't update or install the apps on google play. They freeze on Download pending... message 5) Home and Switch buttons don't work. They light up and vibrate when I tap them but they do nothing. This issue is apparently related to a deconfiguration of user accounts. To fix it, you need re-setup the users. As you can't access to the user manager (you are in guest mode ...
