That’s all there is to it! You have now turned your Raspberry Pi into a network probe that can capture and upload to CloudShark. Grab the returned URL and paste into your browser!.For example, if you want to capture 5 packets on interface eth0. Run the script and pass it any arguments you would normally pass to dumpcap/tshark.Make the script executable: chmod +x cloudshark_capture.sh.If you’re using your own CloudShark system, enter the URL in the cloudshark_url variable.You can change the prompt variable to y which will let the script ask you before uploading to CloudShark. Edit the api_token variable up at the top and insert your API token.Download our script: wget and unpack the script.

Install dumpcap on your Raspberry Pi (it comes as part of the tshark package): sudo apt-get install tshark.In an embedded environment like a Raspberry Pi, this allows you to bypass tshark’s processing and send the resulting capture directly to CloudShark. The even better news is that you can lower the memory footprint of doing the capture with tshark by using Wireshark’s included packet capture process, dumpcap. The great news is you can do it easily by installing tshark on your system and running a simple script from one of our developers, Tom. It got us thinking - what are some other ways you could build a useful network probe? It turns out one of our other users decided to take the leap into building such capability using a Raspberry Pi. We were pretty excited when the developers at OpenWRT decided to build packet capture and CloudShark upload support into the popular open source software for broadband routers.
