+# Wireshark
+Wireshark is a network traffic and protocol analyzer/sniffer with a graphical interface
+
+## Install
+
+**Note:** A reboot seems to be required after adding yourself to the wireshark group for interface monitoring permission to be recognised
+
+### Arch-base
+```sh
+sudo pacman -S wireshark-qt
+
+# add yourself to the wirehshark group
+sudo gpasswd -a $USER wireshark
+```
+
+### Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
+Note: Answer **Yes** to the prompt about enabling the 'wireshark' group, so that you can allow your user to monitor traffic.
+```sh
+sudo apt install wireshark
+
+# add yourself to the wirehshark group
+sudo gpasswd -a $USER wireshark
+```
+
+### Fedora
+```sh
+sudo dnf install wireshark
+
+# add yourself to the wirehshark group
+sudo gpasswd -a $USER wireshark
