Portable Ethereal

skyshock21 - July 21, 2006 - 4:13pm

I've managed to make Ethereal (now called Wireshark) about 99% portable. The only caveat is that you have to copy a single sys file to the machine you're using it on.

Here's a link to the setup - http://peubanks.blogspot.com/

Does anyone know a way to make this 100% portable by pointing the application to look for that sys file in the local directory you're running it from instead of on the target machine?

Try searching the Ethereal site

You should find some command line parameter somewhere.

It doesn't seem as though

It doesn't seem as though there's any command line parameter that redirects the program to look elsewhere for that driver.

This MAY be possible with a modification to the source code, but I haven't looked through it yet to see if it's possible. Npf.sys is a driver that is part of WinPcap, and I'm not entirely familiar with how this driver is handled.

Anyone want to pick up from here?
