at the moment I am using usbmon to sniff usb. for better understandability I want to use wireshark. I've used wireshark before for sniffing ethernet packets. But what to capture to sniff USB Packets ? I meant I need to start by selecting which interface to capture in wireshark. but what wold I select there for usb ?
USBPcap - USB Packet capture for Windows. USBPcap is an open-source USB sniffer for Windows. Digitally signed installer for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10, both x86 and x64 is available at Github. After installation you must restart your computer. USBPcap support was commited in revision 48847 (Wireshark #8503). Wireshark is the world's foremost network protocol analyzer. Wireshark is the world's foremost network protocol analyzer. It lets you capture and interactively browse the traffic running on a computer network. It is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many industries and educational institutions.

Grab newest wireshark.Use lsusb before and after plugin in device so You know which usb bus its plugged into.
type in terminal:
(First load kernel module that allow for usb sniffing for root, second load wireshark as root)
Than select
usbmonX
, where X
stand for usb bus number (lsusb
show those numbers).After than you still need to filter packets for device / vendor id, or something else device specific, as wireshark will show all packets from all devices plugged into that bus. (Again
przemo_lilsusb
before/after plugging you device will help).![Windows Wireshark Usb Windows Wireshark Usb](/uploads/1/2/6/4/126452877/796335582.png)

Have you taken a look at the documentation for that on the Wireshark website?
Windows 10 Wireshark Usb
In libpcap 1.0.x, the devices for capturing on USB have the name usbn, where n is the number of the bus. In libpcap 1.1.0 and later, they have the name usbmonn.

a quick notice since I just started using wireshark to sniff usb packets on linux. as I understand you need usbmon module loaded (which if you are using it should be). Additionally I seem to recall that while wireshark can be setup to let non root users sniff ethernet packets, some limitation required root access for usb packs (at least at the time of writting).Similar to what others have said, on my system, Ubuntu 12.10, the usb interfaces have names like 'usbmon1 USB bus number 1' and so forth.(you might look at http://biot.com/blog/usb-sniffing-on-linux)the link listed has an image showing a filter which can be used to select only traffic to from a device number (from lsusb).
I hope thats helpful

@przemo_li You want to filter by device address to see the communication from both the host and the device. The filter for that is
usb.device_address
