In order to analyze the request and response in and out, Wireshark is a good tool.
In order to analyze the request and response in and out, Wireshark is a good tool.
Install it in Ubuntu is simple
sudo apt-get install wireshark
By default, wireshark is installed and should be run as root to simplify the procedure. If you run wireshark as a non root user at this stage, you will get the message “No interface can be used for capturing in this system with the current configuration.”.
There is a solution:
Reconfigure wireshark to run as non-root user, choose yes when you are prompted. Wireshark group (system group) will be created
sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common
Add your user to wireshark group created in previous step
sudo usermod -a -G wireshark $USER
Logout and Login then you are good to go
If the problem does exists, make few more changes:
Change group owner of /usr/bin/dumpcap to wireshark
sudo chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
Change permission to 750
sudo chmod 750 /usr/bin/dumpcap
Grant capabilities
sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap
Then check again using this command
sudo getcap /usr/bin/dumpcap
Logout and Login
