Here are the basics -
- Install dumpcap on your Raspberry Pi (it
comes as part of the tshark package): sudo apt-get install tshark
- Download
our script: wget https://github.com/cloudshark/cloudshark-capture/archive/master.zip and unpack the
script.
- Edit
the api_token variable
up at the top and insert your API token. You can change the promptvariable to y which will let the script
ask you before uploading to CloudShark.
- If
you’re using your own CloudShark system, enter the URL in the cloudshark_url variable.
Otherwise leave it as https://www.cloudshark.org/ .
- Make
the script executable: chmod +x cloudshark_capture.sh
- Run
the script and pass it any arguments you would normally pass to
dumpcap/tshark. For example, if you want to capture 5 packets on interface
eth0: ./cloudshark_capture.sh
-i eth0 -c 5
- Grab
the returned URL and paste into your browser!
Now get creative, and figure out other practical applications.
