Wireshark

The Wireshark Review

Kommentare: My overall experience with Wireshark is awesome. It helped me get interested in cyber security and how packets transfer and how we can analyze them. If someone is using an HTTP site on your network you can easily decrypt their form data with the help of Wireshark into plane text.

Vorteile:

Firstly it is a free-to-use software and can be installed in almost all the operating systems but mostly it is found in versions of Linux as it is a network scanning tool. It can be used to test our web app or software by capturing the packets they transfer and then analyzing them and checking if there are any security issues or not. I have been using this since I was in my school. It is very much easy to use if you have the proper documentation.

Nachteile:

There are no cons to using the software. Most individuals use this when they start with cyber security as it is a pretty common tool.

Analyze and trace your network with this package tracer tool!

Kommentare: I manly use it to debug my network system on first two layers, which is really easy to do so with Wireshark.
I have been using it for about 2 years now and it was very helpful in lot of situations. The second thing that I use it for is tracing some of my data especially if I am interested in packages that are going trough my network or if I am interested in a way they are going. I sometimes use it for monitoring all devices around the house and watching them communicate from time to time, it is really fun sometimes to see all those patterns that make devices run properly.

Vorteile:

Free open source product for tracing all activity on your network. Great tool for troubleshooting all kinds of problems and bugs. It works perfectly with any kind of OS and helps to capture all the traffic going trough your network. You don't need any programming languages to do this, only thing that you need is to learn how to use this software, which can be done in a short period of time if you practice your skills with it. Wireshark software really provides detailed view on network packages which can be put in a different colors for a better perspective of things. Trough all that, it also gives you an opportunity to troubleshoot yourself out of some unwanted situations and follow where does your internet data go.

Nachteile:

Wireshark maybe, could be a little bit difficult to use to some novice users, until they take some time to fully understand the way the software, but I think that most folks out there should be just fine with a way the software works. There is not much to dislike, the software works fine and does what it was made to do. That is to read the packages, follow them and trace all the data which goes trough the network.

Great tool for

Vorteile:

I save a lot of time when I was debugging a request. I could easily see the payload between.

Nachteile:

The UI is somewhat old fashioned I can be better than that.

Wireshark For Network Admins

Kommentare: I've used it to create CTF challenges and keep track of packets in the network for learning and problem solving, and some times I've used it to analyze malicious behavior.

Vorteile:

The ability to identify the problem in the network Monitor packets and the ability to learn professionally

Nachteile:

Some information is not clear and requires some additional steps to be extracted

Essential tool for Network Engineers

Kommentare: Wireshark extract all the information that you could think off out of .pcap files.

Vorteile:

Great GUI, great filtering and great form of displaying packet captures. It is the best software to analyze traffic with.

Nachteile:

Only con I can think of is that it requires administrator priviledges on Windows to capture packets on interfaces but it is more of a system thing than software fault
