Details of Packets: After clicking on the single packet, we can see all the details of the selected packet. List of Packets: This is the first part of the network, where we can capture and determine all packets, and as per our requirement we can filter them. Let’s see how we can do the packet analysis below:Īfter capturing network traffic, we need to analyze all content of the network which is visible in the above screenshot.
Let’s consider all packets and plugins working fine then the table window looks like the below screenshot and it automatically updates. So let’s see how we can capture the network traffic as follows.įirst, we need to select the required interface to capture traffic, generally, it will be eth0 if our system is connected via Ethernet, and else it will be wlan0 for Wi-Fi connection as shown in the below screenshot. So, it will record all the traffic and it is helpful to analyze all network traffic.
But on the other hand, let’s assume our device is one of the important devices that mean DNS. We know that our system is one of the devices which is communicated with the network, most of the time we use our own network, so we can easily determine the usage. Mainly Wireshark allows us to capture the network traffic, this is one of the most important features.
It continuously captures network transactions and displays them in an understandable format. Wireshark is commonly used for network analysis and investigation. Wireshark is the most widely used network protocol analyzer tool, formerly known as Ethereal.
We can store the Read and Write operation in file format. One of the important features is that it supports the Decryption of protocol. By using Wireshark, we can do a deep analysis of protocols. It provides a multi-platform to the users. It allows us to capture network traffic offline and Live. Basically, this is the most ideal and important tool, and it is used by testers and hackers to determine network traffic. Wireshark is included by default in Kali Linux and can be used immediately after installation. Kali Linux Wireshark provides a good display and network packets to display their content so that we can easily analyze them, and it supports most operating systems. Kali Linux is an open-source operating system used to implement security-related applications, and Wireshark is a free open-source tool used to determine and analyze network traffic while sharing data.
