Is Wireshark, Wireshark without the Wireshark GUI?
Actually, yes.
Although to add confusion to the answer to the question, the GUI is named: "Wireshark" but it is just an eye-candy wrapper around an entire set of (command line) programs.
Bright idea #1 - Build "Wireshark" without the GUI.
(done)
Now see if all the internals (tools) can be made to run on the Kindle from USB storage.
A nice little 4 or 5 day project (if I'm lucky).
Why?
To do the packet capture on the Kindle itself, without external networking mess.
Expected:
To at least do the packet capture on the Kindle to a file that the (for-real) Wireshark application on a pc can crunch for us.
Desired:
To also do the packet crunching on the Kindle.
It **should** be possible - the i.MX6 is a fairly powerful processor.
Added advantage:
The ppp (that is, the 3G) link can be monitored/captured/reported on also, not just the Wifi link.
