Overview

Why consider termshark?

termshark is an open-source terminal UI for Wireshark’s tshark written in Go by Graham Clark. It brings the familiar Wireshark three-pane interface (packet list, packet details tree, and hex dump view) directly into SSH sessions and headless Linux servers without X11.
