I've tried a number of things, but none of them seem to do the trick. I want to run this command:

tshark -r data.pcap -T fields -e frame.time_epoch -e frame.len

but to have it ignore any packets from/to one or more devices that have a specific MAC address. I've tried variants of not eth.addr==, mac !=, etc with the -Y flag.

If this is not possible with tshark, a separate command (e.g. tcpdump) to preprocess the pcap and filter packets out into a new file would work too. Any tips would be much appreciated!

You can use not ether host 01:23:45:67:89:ab. To filter only source or destination address use not ether src or not ether dst.

Check http://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/pcap-filter.7.html

  • Thanks, that's only tcpdump, right? Jan 21, 2018 at 17:32
  • It's for pcap, works in Wireshark, so it should work in tshark, too.
