TShark
TShark Field Reference Panel
If TShark is included in your tools.yaml
(or if you’re using the REMnux configuration), the GUI offers a powerful set of tools to assist with display filter creation and usage. This includes both an integrated filter builder and a TShark Field Reference panel.
- The filter builder allows users to construct and modify complex TShark display filters directly within the GUI, with real-time syntax support and validation.
- The “?” icon next to filter fields launches the Field Reference panel, which provides searchable field definitions, examples, tooltips, and a copy-to-clipboard feature.
- Together, these tools help analysts visually explore and test filter syntax without needing to memorize protocol-specific field names.
