Q 7.10: How can I capture entire frames, including the FCS?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
Wireshark can only capture data that the packet capture library - libpcap on UNIX-flavored OSes, and the WinPcap port to Windows of libpcap on Windows - can capture, and libpcap/WinPcap can capture only the data that the OS's raw packet capture mechanism (or the WinPcap driver, and the underlying OS networking code and network interface drivers, on Windows) will allow it to capture.

Q 10.1: How can I capture raw 802.11 frames, including non-data (management, beacon) frames?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on the operating system on which you're running, and on the 802.11 interface on which you're capturing. This would probably require that you capture in promiscuous mode or in the mode called "monitor mode" or "RFMON mode". On some platforms, or with some cards, this might require that you capture in monitor mode - promiscuous mode might not be sufficient.

How do I capture screenshots/grab frames?

Faq - CCCP
The recommended way to do this is using ffdshow's "Grab" function. This works even with Overlay mixer used because the decoded frame is grabbed directly from the decoder output, and can also grab an entire range of frames in one go. However this will not correctly grab a frame from an anamorphic video, the frame will be in the video's native unstretched resolution, and it will also not capture any softsubs.

Can the server resize frames for capture ?

WebcamSat / Satcam - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes - like the example above for single frame capture, you use the same syntax with addition of width and height values: shell_exec("wget --ignore-length -O /var/wcs/folder1/frame.jpg http://www.blah.com:8888/1.jpeg?frames=1&width=xxx&height=yyy");

Why is DMA capture always one or more frames behind?

libdc1394: The Linux API for IEEE1394 / Firewire cameras
It depends what you mean by "behind". Somewhere in your initialization sequence you would call dc1394_video_set_transmission(). This causes the camera to start spewing out images until you tell it to stop with the same function. The capture functions can't start or stop the camera. The expected behaviour is for the first frame to be current and the next frame to be one frame time later, no matter when you actually call the capture function.

How can I capture and mark-up the entire screen?

FAQ: Marking-up a Screen (Creating a Message)
Click and drag JotSmart's right / bottom sizing box so that it touches the right / bottom edge of the screen. Click the "Snap" button on the upper right side of JotSmart's work area frame (the red rectangle). The "Snap" feature works by looking for boundaries on windows. This Snap technique will not work if you do not have a program "window" covering the entire screen.

Q:What is FCS position on abortion? Can clients who are undecided reside at FCS?

Florence Crittenton Services of Charlotte, North Carolina
The Florence Crittention program is an alternative to abortion and the residents that enter the program have decided to carry their pregnancy to term. FCS does not refer anyone in our care or callers to an abortion clinic and a resident who says they are undecided about taking their pregnancy to term is then referred back to their referring agency to have any questions answered. FCS residents may choose to work with any licensed adoption agency.

Q59: Why is it dropping frames during the capture process?

Quintic Consultancy Ltd: FAQs
Your computer may not be powerful enough or close to capacity. Ensure that you have followed the Set Up option within the Video Capture Software. Help on how to do this can be seen at www.quintic.com/tutorials within the Appendices. Defrag the computer by right clicking on the D or C drive and selecting ‘Properties’ Select the ‘Tools’ and then select the defrag option. Allow the computer to defrag both drives and then restart your computer.

Q.-Don't all our foods have all the vitamins we need including B17?

Cancer F.A.Q's
A.- NO - In the past fifty years, the foods that once provided the American people with ample amounts of natural vitamin B17 gradually have been pushed aside or replaced altogether by foods almost devoid of this factor. Significantly, it is during this same time span that the cancer rate has moved steadily upward to the point where today, one out of every four persons in the USA is destined to contract this disease.

Q 1.12: What devices can Wireshark use to capture packets?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
Wireshark can read live data from Ethernet, Token-Ring, FDDI, serial (PPP and SLIP) (if the OS on which it's running allows Wireshark to do so), 802.11 wireless LAN (if the OS on which it's running allows Wireshark to do so), ATM connections (if the OS on which it's running allows Wireshark to do so), and the "any" device supported on Linux by recent versions of libpcap.

Q 7.3: Why am I only seeing ARP packets when I try to capture traffic?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
You're probably on a switched network, and running Wireshark on a machine that's not sending traffic to the switch and not being sent any traffic from other machines on the switch. ARP packets are often broadcast packets, which are sent to all switch ports.
Related Questions

Q 7.4: Why am I not seeing any traffic when I try to capture traffic?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
If not, this may just be a problem with promiscuous sniffing, either due to running on a switched network or a dual-speed hub, or due to problems with the interface not supporting promiscuous mode; see the response to this earlier question. Otherwise, on Windows, see the response to this question and, on a UNIX-flavored OS, see the response to this question.

Q 7.5: Can Wireshark capture on (my T1/E1 line, SS7 links, etc.)?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
Wireshark can only capture on devices supported by libpcap/WinPcap. On most OSes, only devices that can act as network interfaces of the type that support IP are supported as capture devices for libpcap/WinPcap, although the device doesn't necessarily have to be running as an IP interface in order to support traffic capture. On Linux and FreeBSD, libpcap 0.

Q 7.12: Why does Wireshark hang after I stop a capture?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
The most likely reason for this is that Wireshark is trying to look up an IP address in the capture to convert it to a name (so that, for example, it can display the name in the source address or destination address columns), and that lookup process is taking a very long time. Wireshark calls a routine in the OS of the machine on which it's running to convert of IP addresses to the corresponding names. That routine probably does one or more of: on Windows systems, a NetBIOS-over-TCP query.

Q 10.2: How do I capture on an 802.11 device in monitor mode?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you will be able to capture in monitor mode depends on the operating system, adapter, and driver you're using. See the previous question for information on monitor mode, including a link to the Wireshark Wiki page that gives details on 802.11 capturing.

Q 12.3: How do I filter a capture to see traffic for virus XXX?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
For some viruses/worms there might be a capture filter to recognize the virus traffic. Check the CaptureFilters page on the Wireshark Wiki to see if anybody's added such a filter. Note that Wireshark was not designed to be an intrusion detection system; you might be able to use it as an IDS, but in most cases software designed to be an IDS, such as Snort or Prelude, will probably work better.
