Adding Wireshark to pfSense
-
How do I add Wireshark to pfSense? Or, how to request the package's availability in the repository for install?

Any reason why you can't use the native packet capture, download the capture and then open it in Wireshark?
Also, I don't see why you couldn't try installing Wireshark via the command line with:
64 bit: pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/release_3/All/wireshark-2.0.2.txz
32 bit: pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:i386/release_3/All/wireshark-2.0.2.txzPlease keep in mind, I don't know if this will cause any issues with pfSense. Proceed at your own risk.

Yes, what exactly are you trying to do ?
You actually want to do the analysis on the firewall rather than exporting the capture file?
This seems like a generally bad idea….

Thanks NOYB, your links also had this gem that I like. ;)
Using tcpdump to capture traffic remotely but save output to a local file.

I was thinking real time instead of capture then analyze…I know this will require massive memory; however it's just for learning and I plan on executing this on a Dell PowerEdge R710 for my home/home office.
