In order to run Wireshark as root, you must first use the command prompt (or other terminal) to switch to the root user. This can be done via the “su“ command, or by logging in as root, depending on your system. After you have switched to root user, you can invoke Wireshark by typing “wireshark“ at the prompt. Depending on your system, you may need to add the “-i“ flag to specify which network interface to capture data from.
