What can go wrong with wireshark if you run it in root ?Īnd finally: is this some kind of hazing ritual with Kali? (Bill Labanovic jokes in his book on python that installing pip is a kind of hazing ritual for new programmers in python. I started in ubuntu years ago and have become so used to sudo I prefer it to root account).īut my question is: which is the proper way of doing things in Kali? Creating a sub-account and disabling the log in (thus, my sub question is how?) or disabling the warnings in wireshark. I also saw elsewhere that most of the tools in Kali require root permissions (I figured I'd just sudo everything. Also, the tool should still work when that error dialog shows up, It just warns you of the privileges you are assigning to the tool.īut when I create a user and try to log out as root, I get stuck in an autologin loop as root. You can create a non-super user account or non root account and that should fix the error dialog. Giving root to such tools can go sideways should the tool malfunction. Yes it's recommended and advisable not to run such tools in super user or high permission account. When I opened wireshark (fresh install of live usb kali with persistence) for the first time it complained about me being root.
