Wireshark 4.0.2
Makes it easy to see the sensitive data travelling around your network.
Wireshark is a packet analyser with an easy-touse GUI. It enables you to capture and analyse the data that travels around your network. You can use it to track down insecure software that has the potential to cause problems, and you can also use it to find out a bit more about the protocols that make a network and even the internet work. Best of all, it’s easy to get started.
Let’s start with a simple example. Load up Wireshark and select the network adaptor that you use for connection with the internet when prompted. If you open a web browser and browse to a website, you should see a flurry of packet data in the main Wireshark window. Presuming that test works and you can see some traffic, put icmp into the filter field. Open a terminal window and type code ping google. com . You should now see the traffic from the ping tool in the main window. Click on the X icon in the filter bar to clear it.
