Remote PCAP

Requirements:

Windows 10, or newer
Wireshark 3.0, or newer (installed with Sshdump component)
WLAN Pi or SBC (assumption is rpcapd is setup and running)
SSH Client

Can leverage rpcap (remote packet capture) protocol supported by Wireshark to capture raw wireless frames from the WLAN NIC used by the WLAN Pi. This can be leveraged to do a packet capture from a WLAN Pi in a remote location.

ZeroTier (ZT) is open source and free to use for most cases (commercial/proprietary use makes it not free).

It's a network virtualization platform that lets you connect to your devices with automatic end-to-end encryption. Think of it conceptually like a VPN, SDN, and SD-WAN all in one.

tmux

it's a terminal multiplexer that allows access to multiple terminal sessions in a single window. so, you can split terminals into panes. you can move, resize, and switch between them.

it's also useful for detaching processes from the controlling terminal. so, a SSH session can remain active without actually being visible. i recommend using tmux if you're doing remote work via ssh.

tmux hotkeys to help with remote ssh dev

install tmux with sudo apt install tmux.
