**Methodology: As WireShark build in Docker so we need to create a container for it in Akash.

**Timeline: 2 to 3 months

**Design: Not yet

Bigger problem is having sufficient privleges to run this operation. For instance running tcpdump yields the following error:

root@web-b4f8b545d-xfdnv:~# tcpdump 
tcpdump: eth0: You don't have permission to capture on that device
(socket: Operation not permitted)

How about we create a docker container specifically in Akash!
