The Help area comprises links to the Wireshark official website, Users Guide and security related documentation. From the Files section you can open previously taken captures or view a collection of example captures on Whireshark’s Wiki webpage. The Capture category allows you to view the capture interfaces present on your system and start captures on any of them right away or with pre-configuration through the Capture Options dialog window. At first glance, the main area lists all the important categories and related tools in an easy to visualize manner. Using Whireshark to a full extent is accomplishable only by power users or after a certain amount of study, even so the program’s interface is striving to ease most tasks to a certain degree. The program works on most modern 32-bit x86 or 64-bit AMD64/x86-64 CPUs and requires at least 128 MB of RAM, 75 MB free disk space, display with 800×600 resolution or more and 16-bit color and a supported network card for capturing.
NETWORK TRAFFIC CAPTURE TOOLS MAC OS
Whireshark is a cross-platform utility and supplies us with versions for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Unix operating systems. The overall process is completed within a couple of minutes, depending mostly on the time you spend to configure the program.
If you agree, WinPcap installation will begin automatically and when it’s finished the WhireShark installer will resume.
NETWORK TRAFFIC CAPTURE TOOLS INSTALL
Whireshark uses Windows Packet Capture (WinPcap) to capture live network data and will ask you to install it. To begin with, Whireshark’s Windows installer will prompt you to choose which components you wish to install (it is recommended to go with the default installation if you are unsure of their importance) and setup shortcuts as well as file associations.
