i'm develop android app for sniffing packets from device.
I'm using pcap4j library, but when call Pcaps.getDevByAddress(), launches the exception.
Can you help me?
This is snipped code:
InetAddress destAddr = parsedPacket;
PcapNetworkInterface nif =Pcaps.getDevByAddress(destAddr);
Thanks
Not sure if this might still be an issue for you. Have you added both dependencies to you classpath?
Add the following to your pom.xml:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.pcap4j</groupId>
<artifactId>pcap4j-core</artifactId>
<version>1.7.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.pcap4j</groupId>
<artifactId>pcap4j-packetfactory-static</artifactId>
<version>1.7.3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Also make sure you have installed pcaplib-dev on your machine. Depends on OS how to install it.
Did you perform these steps?
If so, have you given java root access (assuming you are on linux)? I have seen people getting issues after they used the set_cap command. Please let me know!
