Wireshark ‘no interfaces found’ error explained

When you start up Wireshark to capture network packets, the tool has to go through a series of initialization routines. Towards the end of its startup procedures, Wireshark scans the host computer for network connections. On the initial scan, if the program cannot find any networks attached to the computer on which it is running, it will show the message “No interfaces found.”

The error message appears in the area of the application window where you would expect to see a list of available networks. To capture network traffic packets, you first need to select one of these networks. So, if Wireshark can’t find any networks at all, you can’t progress to the packet capture phase.

Wireshark makes decrypting SSL traffic easy

I really like the way Wireshark handles the SSL decryption process. Cryptography is complicated, and the standards are constantly changing to be more secure. But once Wireshark and your environment are set up properly, all you have to do is change tabs to view decrypted data. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

How to Decrypt SSL with Wireshark

Using Wireshark, you can look at the traffic flowing across your network and dissect it, getting a peek inside of frames at the raw data. SSL is an encryption protocol that operates on the Transport layer of the OSI model. It uses various encryption methods to secure data as it moves across networks. Note: In this guide, I’ll mostly be referring to SSL as a catchall term for SSL and TLS, its successor.

SSL encryption makes using Wireshark more challenging because it prevents administrators from viewing the data that each relevant packet carries. When Wireshark is set up properly, it can decrypt SSL and restore your ability to view the raw data.
