termshark
A terminal UI for tshark, providing Wireshark-like packet analysis directly in the terminal.
What is termshark?
Termshark is a terminal user interface (TUI) for tshark, the command-line packet analyzer. It provides an interactive, Wireshark-inspired interface within the terminal for inspecting packet capture (pcap) files and live network traffic. It solves the problem of analyzing network packets on remote servers or headless environments where a full graphical Wireshark installation is not feasible.
Network engineers, system administrators, security analysts, and developers who need to perform packet analysis in terminal-only or remote environments, or who prefer command-line workflows.
Developers choose Termshark because it delivers the core analytical power of Wireshark/tshark in a lightweight, terminal-native interface. Its single-binary portability and ability to handle large pcaps remotely offer a significant advantage over transferring files for desktop GUI analysis.
