wireshark /tmp/sniff.pcap
If you have tshark on remote host, you could use that :
wireshark -k -i <(ssh -l root <REMOTE HOST> tshark -w - not tcp port 22)
The last snippet comes from http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Pipes
tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes 265 packets captured 265 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel
This captures traffic on a remote machine with tshark, sends the raw pcap data over the ssh link, and displays it in wireshark. Hitting ctrl+C will stop the capture and unfortunately close your wireshark window. This can be worked-around by passing -c # to tshark to only capture a certain # of packets, or redirecting the data through a named pipe rather than piping directly from ssh to wireshark. I recommend filtering as much as you can in the tshark command to conserve bandwidth. tshark can be replaced with tcpdump thusly:
ssh root@example.com tcpdump -w - 'port !22' | wireshark -k -i -
When using tcpdump, specify -U option to prevent buffering.
