Wireshark is an open-source network protocol analyzer that allows you to see what's happening on your network at a microscopic level. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Wireshark on Debian Latest.
Before you begin, you will need the following:
To ensure that your system has the latest security patches and bug fixes, update the system using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
By default, Wireshark is not included in the Debian repository. So, we need to download the Wireshark package from the official website of Wireshark using the following command:
wget https://www.wireshark.org/download/debian/wireshark-qt_3.4.8-1_amd64.deb
Next, we will install the Wireshark package by running the following command:
sudo apt install ./wireshark-qt_3.4.8-1_amd64.deb
Once Wireshark is installed, you can run it by typing "wireshark" in the terminal. Alternatively, you can also launch Wireshark from the applications menu.

To capture network traffic, select the interface from which you want to capture the traffic, and click the "Start" button. Wireshark will start capturing the network traffic, and you will be able to see the captured packets in real-time.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Wireshark on Debian Latest. Enjoy analyzing network traffic in detail now!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
