Problem with Wireshark installation on Apple Ventura MacOS
Just ran across this issue and seems like a bug, but not sure if it’s in MacOS or Wireshark land.
When installing Wireshark as administrative user on Apple Mac OS I installed ChmodBPF multiple times and got no error message. Yet, Wireshark continued to report that ChmodBPF was not installed and I didn’t have permission to capture packets.
Turns out, you have to run it from terminal with sudo:
sudo /Library/Application Support/Wireshark/ChmodBPF/ChmodBPF
Solved the problem for me and hope Apple does not break the above in the future. A lot of security professionals will not be happy or able to do their jobs on a Mac.
