Shark Reader

Works fine with Shark for Root to view packet info

Not working on Note 3 Android 5

File should be copied to root folder

Nothing!!!?!?!

This program has lots and lots of problems... it doesn't allow you to open arbitrary pcap files. It doesn't support extension association. It can't read the current pcap format. And it doesn't show very useful information, it only shows the hex dump of packets. There's no documentation, and the interface is very unintuitive.

Viewing a trace of Diameter messaging only displays source and destination IP addresses, no usefull content. Also errored out when trying to open a pcap file that was 1.5mb in size. Also couldn't execute the application from the shortcut because it says there wasnt a pcap file loaded. Was only able to open a pcap file when executing the pcap file directly.

it barely displays any useful information from the capture and its not very intuitive. For example it will complain that it cant find any capture files, but it doesnt tell you that it is only looking in /mnt/sdcard.

Really limited value - virtually none if you don't use the complementary Shark Capture. Even then the captures show nothing useful. Why have a program that doesn't support opening unless capture files exist in a fixed directory? Doesn't support newer pcap formats too. Doesn't support extension association either. Docs? Even the forum link is stale at 2010. Appreciate the attempt.

Displays a hex dump of a packet but has not even a forward/next feature. I would like to give zero stars but can't. Also, notice that the latest version is 4 years ago.

I use this software on my computer, but I can't even get it to open on here. Very frustrating.

I still need to log on to my Kali to view the dump, since it does not show anything useful.

I do have .pcap file but this crappy application closes immediately after opening saying `no pcap file`.

4 year old no updates but it worked for me. I could read the data captured. It can't be compared with PC software, on Android works well.

Just throws an error message and shuts down.

Can t even find any cap files and there is many. Way of time

This application is looking for files in the wrong directory and doesn't seem to be customizable to change the directory.

but this app lacks any feature besides listing all the packets without any distinction, no colors or type, or follow stream, dns...

GUI is very plain and un-helpful, it really needs some improvement. Also, it would be nice if it were included with Shark instead of a separate application.

You launch it, says no pcap files found. Let ME point it to the pcap I want to open. I have 3 sitting right there. Better to just transfer to a box and read there.

I've just started using Shark Reader, but no problems on an AT&T Captivate running 2.2 Froyo with a stock ROM.

I capture from tcpdump. It reports that empty file.

The "developer" needs to get into a different line of work. 711 is hiring.

Wont open any pcap files. Just says Error No Pcap Files. I got mounds of pcap files!! Ha ha ha

Works in a pinch but you're better off doing your packet analysis with wireshark, etc.

It gives target and destination ip and port used. It is not a toy for lamerz. Its a nice tool. Thx.
