The source of the capture is not a traditional capture model (live capture from an To act as capture interfaces directly in Wireshark. The extcap interface is a versatile plugin interface that allows external binaries Hope this can help someone else as well.8.2. Adding Capture Interfaces And Log Sources Using Extcap So today I learned of these registry keys that can stop an. exe files that makes me think they were antivirus/antimalvware programs. ![]() Of course now I have to find out how this got on my PC and get rid of it.īy the way, this was an obvious attempt from something to avoid detection - there were bunches of these keys, not just for Wireshark, but for other. When Wireshark tried to run, Windows apparently tried to "debug" it with nqij.exe, which it couldn't find, and the process stopped. Specifically, under this key there was a Debugger setting, referring to "nqij.exe" - not a file I have on my system. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\wireshark.exe It discovered several interesting things, such as a registry key like this: My detective work eventually led me to a tool called RogueKiller. There must be some malware installed somehow, that the mentioned killers did not find. I have found the concrete reason why Wireshark.exe would not run, while for instance Wireshark2.exe (a copy I made in the same folder) ran just fine. If I copy it to another name and run it, it works.Īlso, I have gotten updated versions of both SpyBot and Kaspersky online to do full scans on the system, and they have discovered nothing. exe file by double clicking it, it claims it can't be found. Same thing happens then - when I try starting the. So is something sitting in mah' Windows looking at the file names of executables that are to be run, and causing an error? I like that I can start Wireshark, but I am horrified at what this might actually mean.ĮDIT 2: As per Ramhound's suggestion, I tried running in safe mode. So there is no reason to think there is anything wrong with Wireshark itself. If I rename or make a copy of Wireshark.exe, called anything but Wireshark, it runs! It found nothing, so in theory I am clean.ĭoes anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this? I use Wireshark quite a bit so it would be great to figure it out - it worked perfectly for the past year or so before this started happening suddenly today.ĮDIT: After tons of installing and uninstalling (to same place, to different places), I have made a simple yet strange discovery: I did an update of Windows Defender and then a full scan. This freaks me out and I start worrying about viruses etc. ![]() I have tried "running as admin" - same results as before. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Wireshark (latest version) on the system - this changed nothing. exe-files in the same folder work as expected. I have checked the registry according to several KB articles - there is nothing non-default handling. ![]() At least nothing that contains the path of Wireshark, the process name etc. I have tried to run process monitor to see if anything related happens, but I have not been able to see anything. The system cannot find the file D:\Program Files\Wireshark\Wireshark.exe.
