Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

What are the protocols that currently support the Wireshark?

A

There are hundreds of supported protocols and media that support the Wireshark which can be found in the wireshark(1) man page.

Q

Are there any plans to support {your favorite protocol}?

A

Support for particular protocols is added to Wireshark as a result of people contributing that support; no formal plans for adding support for particular protocols in particular future releases exist.

Q

Does Wireshark work on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008?

A

Yes, but if we want to capture packets as a normal user, We need to make sure that npf.sys is loaded. Wireshark's installer enables this by default. This is not a concern if you run Wireshark as Administrator, but this is discouraged.

Q

Can Wireshark capture all network traffic?

A

When capturing network traffic that isn't flowing through the machine running Wireshark or TShark, e.g. traffic between two or more other machines on an Ethernet segment, you will have to capture in promiscuous mode, and, on a switched Ethernet network, you will need to set up the machine specifically.

Q

What is Wireshark?

A

Wireshark is a free, cross-platform, and open-source packet analyzer using the Qt widget toolkit. It is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications protocol development, and education. It supports GUI and allows the user to put network interface controllers on the network's traffic.
