Wireshark VS browsh

To begin with Wireshark, visit their official website for the download. The installation process is straightforward, but attention should be paid to the installation of command-line tools, which may require separate steps. Upon launching Wireshark, users are greeted with a selection of network interfaces as seen below. Choosing the correct interface, such as the loopback for local server debugging, is crucial for capturing relevant data.

If you're very curious as to what is really going on under the hood, I recommend you familiarize yourself with port mirroring for your switch platform of choice, and then use a laptop in promiscuous mode to capture traffic using Wireshark. Failing that, hire a network engineer to interview one of their sales engineers or architects, and have them explain it to you.

You should do a hands fins-on lab with Wireshark.

A great way to test the effectiveness of a pinning implementation is by simulating an MITM attack. Tools like Mitmproxy or Wireshack allow us to create a test environment to monitor, intercept, and proxy network requests for a test host.

They even have a nice comment explaining the heuristic: https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark/blob/ef9c79ae81b00a63...

Obviously based on the question you know the answer is a Wireshark-like software and it boils down to how you classify Wireshark. My issue is that Wikipedia refers to it as a Packet Analyzer, Varonis refers to it as a Packet Sniffer, Wireshark refers to itself as a Network Protocol Analyzer, Kali documentation refers to it as a Network Sniffer, Wireshark's README refers to itself as a Network Analyzer OR Sniffer...

In some cases, that is true, but not all, and I suggest not even most. In many cases, I think people are just as liable for being unwilling to use Whonix.

https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh can be pretty decent, too. It's a shame that it's not common practice to provide resource gleanings in the form of such access to random others from one's VPS. Easily reproduced NixOS tool in VM with locked down containers proxying through a local tor would scale up alright and significantly limit risks for the donor. I find very few people take up the offer to even use another's VPS though.

P.S. I couldn't manage to log in on Lynx, w3m, elinks etc. I also couldn't get Browsh working (https://www.brow.sh/)

I use EWW as a browser in emacs but sometimes I need a browser that is more GUI oriented. I stumbled on two such browsers that can be used in a terminal: Carbonyl and Browsh

On the fancier side of what you can do with (the real) Linux console, see things like: https://www.brow.sh/
