Don't use sudo for running wireshark. use it to change the permissions of /dev/bpf* son that your user can read from them. Assuming your user belongs to group admin(80) you should: $ sudo chgrp admin /dev/bpf* $ sudo chmod g+r /dev/bpf* And then run wireshark as you, not as root (you do not want the files that wireshark creates being owned by root).
