If you use internal networking, then only sniffing from guest OS is possible, but not from host, at least not easily.
Few ways are possible as a solution : 1. Add a 3rd VM (guest) and sniff from there. -or- 2. Change network mode from “internal “ to “bridge”. This will allow to sniff from host OS. It could be “bridged” to a virtual network interface on the host, such as TUN/TAP interface, created on the host OS. -or- 3. Use “UDP Tunnel” network mode between the two VMs, sniff from host. -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" On Sun, 28 Dec 2025 at 16:33, Marco Moock <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello! > > I have 2 virtual machines connected via internal network intnet. > > Is it possible to sniff the packages using Wireshark on the Debian Host? > > If not, what is the right way to do that? > > I only want to connect the 2 machines together, no connection to > anything else outside, but the host should be able to sniff the > packages. > > The vboxnet0 interface has 0 packets. > > -- > kind regards > Marco > > Send unsolicited bulk mail to [email protected] > _______________________________________________ > VBox-users-community mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community > _______________________________________________ > Unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected] > ?subject=unsubscribe >
