Wireshark is a free packet analyzer computer application. It is used for network troubleshooting and analysis. Its later versions are known by the name "Ethereal".
  • Data can be captured "from the wire" from a live network connection or read from a file that records the already-captured packets.
  • Supports a number of protocols, including Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, PPP, and loopback.
  • Captured network data can be browsed via a GUI, or via the terminal (command line) version of the utility, tshark.
  • Captured files can be edited or converted to the "editcap" program.
  • Data display can be refined using a display filter.
  • Plugins can be created for dissecting new protocols.
