Are you running Wireshark under Linux? If so, you have to run it as root, or it won't show any interfaces.

@packetanalyzer SUDO FTW!



[daniandadri]

[piscatoboy]

can it be downloaded on mac? its all i have and i cant run it because it wants an application.

[imsosexysosexy]

i've seen websites advertise selling their info and "special filters" what are those special filters all about ? :-)

[packetanalyzer]

For the most part these would be cases where someone has figured out all of the patterns and offsets and would like you to pay for their efforts. The "special" thing about these is that you can capture the packets without having to have an example to use to build the filter.

Ok, thanks! :-D

This is from time to time most important source of info how to help yourself or your company. This video helped me a lot. Now I'm trying to solve problem of sending great amount of mails from my computer in network. It is a small network and it is possible to capture but how to capture just mail traffic. This is right topic for me now.

Im just a developer who is having a network problem so i know the basick of network and the details are hiden in youtube's video

thank a lot

continue your work

If you are using SMTP as your mail transport protocol, you can create a capture filter to capture only the e-mail traffic. Check out my reply to coilgunner2 above. You would enter the following in the Capture Filter box - tcp port 25. This will capture all traffic to and from TCP port 25 (SMTP). Once captured, you can right click on any of the frames in the conversation and click on Follow TCP Stream. This will filter on only that conversation and reassemble the data portion of the frames.

If anyone would like to see more videos on network troubleshooting, let us know. We want to make sure we are covering topics important to those folks that are out there troubleshooting network problems.

How do you apply a filter to see all incoming and leaving packets from a specific server I am testing?

[packetanalyzer]

The easiest method is to filter by the server's IP address. To do this click on Capture - Interfaces and click the Options button for the interface that is connected to the network. In the Capture Filter box, enter host [ip address of server]. For example host 10.0.0.10. This will capture all packets to and from that IP address. I'll throw a video up showing both IP address capture filters and MAC address capture filters.
