Problems with Wireshark as Root User on Kali

Mar 13, 2016 11:13 PM

Hey, im new to the website and a newbie with Kali. Please bear with me :) I have installed Kali on an acer and everything is up and running. Im having some problems running Wireshark as a Root user. This is the error im receiving when i try to launch: "Lua: Error during loading: string "/usr/share/wireshark/init.lua":44: dofile has been disabled due to running Wireshark as superuser"

I have been looking up different ways to fix this but nothing has worked so far. Iv read running Wireshark as a Root user could be potenionally dangerous, if so how can i run wireshark ? I did try create an Admin account but i was unable to run any commands. If i tried to run ifconfig for example it would come back "bash: ifconfig: command not found."

Bit confused now as to what i should be doing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D
