WireShark is a great tool for analyzing networks, finding bottlenecks, or for analyzing attacks.
Alone, Wireshark is not a significant threat. provided that no hubs are used on a network and switches are not attacked (see Macoff) then a user running wireshark will only see traffic from their own host (see micro-segmentation). Wireshark and other packet sniffing programs should only be used by administration staff on networks as traditional users have no legitimate use for them.
Wireshark is a perfectly legal network troubleshooting tool. However it is possible to use it in illegal ways, like many other tools.

Fire WireShark, select the Network Adapter you want to scan and it gets to work. By default, WS will scan all data going out or coming in through that adapter. If you want some specific ones, you can always apply a filter.
Which parts of an Ethernet frame are Wireshark and other protocols analyzers unlikely to capture
Did you try Wireshark?
tcp/ip
Wireshark is a service that allows you to monitor and see what people are using your wireless network for, if you have public wifi. This is primarily used by businesses to ensure that their customers are not downloading illegal items.
A network administrator would use Wireshark and NetWitness Investigator together to leverage their complementary strengths in network analysis and security monitoring. Wireshark excels at packet capture and detailed protocol analysis, allowing for in-depth inspection of network traffic. In contrast, NetWitness Investigator provides advanced threat detection and incident response capabilities, enabling the administrator to identify and analyze security incidents more efficiently. Together, they offer a comprehensive toolkit for troubleshooting network issues and enhancing overall security posture.
Lots of themFreeware: Wireshark, Capsa....Commercial: Omnipeek, Commview, Pilot...
sequence number is 0 in ethereal but 1 in wiresark :) thank u
We can use ethreal or wireshark packet capture to sniff packets. both work based on tcp/ip or dod model. ie displays 4 layer architecture
