So, what is Wireshark?

Wireshark is an open source network packet analyzer tool that captures data packets flowing over the wire (network) and presents them in an understandable form. Wireshark can be considered as a Swiss army knife as it can be used under different circumstances such as network troubleshoot, security operations, and learning protocol internals. This one tool does it all with ease.

Some of the important benefits of working with Wireshark are:

  • Multiple protocol support : Wireshark supports a wide range of protocols ranging from TCP, UDP, and HTTP to advanced protocols such as AppleTalk.
  • User friendly interface : Wireshark has an interactive graphical interface that helps in analyzing the packet capture. It also has several advance options such as filtering the packets, exporting packets, and name resolution.
  • Live traffic analysis : Wireshark can capture live data flowing on the wire and quickly generate information about its protocols, flow media, communication channels, and so on.
  • Open source project : Wireshark is an open source project and most of its development has been carried out through contribution from over 500 developers around the globe. We can write our own code and add to the project to meet our specific requirements.

These multiple functionalities of Wireshark make it one of the most popular open source network analyzer tools. In the later sections, we will discuss these operations of Wireshark in detail.
