Introduction
Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer. It is basically used for network
troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications development, and for the education
purpose. Wireshark development thrives thanks to the volunteer contributions of networking
experts around the globe and is the continuation of a project started by Gerald Combs in
1998
Wireshark has a rich feature set which includes the following:
Deep inspection of hundreds of protocols, with more being added all the time.
Live capture and offline analysis
Standard three-pane packet browser
Multi-platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and
many others.
Captured network data can be browsed via a GUI, or via the TTY-mode TShark utility.
The most powerful display filters in the industry
Rich VoIP analysis
Read/write many different capture file formats: tcpdump (libpcap), Pcap NG, Catapult
DCT2000, Cisco Secure IDS iplog, Microsoft Network Monitor, Network General
Sniffer® (compressed and uncompressed), Sniffer® Pro, and NetXray®, Network
Instruments Observer, NetScreen snoop, Novell Analyzer, RADCOM WAN/LAN
Analyzer, Shomiti/Finisar Surveyor, Tektronix K12xx, Visual Networks Visual
UpTime, WildPackets EtherPeek/TokenPeek/Aerospike, and many others
Capture files compressed with gzip can be decompressed on the fly
, Live data can be read from Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, PPP/HDLC, ATM, Bluetooth,
USB, Token Ring, Frame Relay, FDDI, and others (depending on your platform)
Decryption support for many protocols, including IPsec, ISAKMP, Kerberos,
SNMPv3, SSL/TLS, WEP, and WPA/WPA2
Coloring rules can be applied to the packet list for quick, intuitive analysis.
Output can be exported to XML, PostScript®, CSV, or plain text.
Step 1
The capture options available are interface, traffic, link layer header,
buffer, monitor mode and capture filter.
Step 2
IP address of the requesting computer is 10.0.2.15
IP address of the DNS server used by this computer is 209.18.47.62
