Specify port information using -o option. # Set the UDP port for messages (if other than the default of 646) # Set the TCP port for messages (if other than the default of 646) # Set the port for LDAP operations over SSL If your LDAP Server is configured on port number 400, just append the port number to the existing value as shown below: The following is the ldap section of the preferences file ~/.wireshark/preferences:

Wireshark preference file is ~/.wireshark/preferences. The first method is to list all the other port number that you like to configure in the wireshark preference file. We can do it using one of the following two methods: Hardcode Port Number in Preference File

If a message has port number 389 either in source port or destination port, tshark would understand that it is a ldap message and will decode it properly.īut if ldap is configured on some other port number, we need to explicitly specify the port number to the tool. Suppose tshark is dissecting ldap packet, and the default port number for ldap server is 389. Wireshark can dissect and decode the specific protocols (contained in the payload message) based on the port number assigned for that protocol, which is saved in its preferences file. Scenario 1: Using non-standard Port with tshark for Analysis In this tutorial we will discuss couple of problematic scenarios and how to use wireshark command line tools to analyse the packet. It can capture, dissect, and decode various protocols. Wireshark is an open-source packet analyser used for network analysis.
