Wireshark is one of the world’s foremost network protocol analyzers, and is the de facto standard that most professional and education institutions use today. It is used for network troubleshooting, network analysis, software and communications protocol development, and general education about how networks work. Wireshark enables you to see all messages sent by your computer and may also let you see the messages sent by other users on your LAN (depending on how your LAN is configured). Most modern LANs are designed to prevent you from eavesdropping on other computer’s messages, but some older ones still permit this (shared Ethernet, but also Wifi). Normally, your computer will ignore the messages that are not addressed for your computer, but Wireshark enables you to eavesdrop and read messages sent to and from other computers. In that sense, it is in that category of packages we call “sniffers”. Exercise 1. Start Wireshark. 2. Click on Capture and then Interfaces. Click the Start button next to the active interface (the one that is receiving and sending packets). Your network data will be captured from this moment on. 3. Open your browser and go to a Web page that you have not visited recently (a good one is www.iana.org). 4. Once the Web page has loaded, go back to Wireshark and stop the packet capture by clicking on Capture and then Stop (the hot key for this is Ctrl + E). 5. You will see results
