Do you want to play a game with extreme violence in a background populated with characters that are American Caricatures ?

In this article we’ll see how apply BPF filters to wireshark to show the details of an HTTP session, an e-mail session and how to monitor who is visiting a certain site from our local network.
Finally I will make a summary of the most useful filters to use with Wireshark.
Here’s another classic example – an HTTP session. As before, start Wireshark and start capturing the traffic from the interface that goes out.

Some find the fine art of capturing and interpreting the packets that run through your network to be as arcane as reading The Matrix, but you don’t need to be the new Neo to be able to parse the network flux. A powerful ally can help you in this mission: Wireshark, a powerful software tool to analyze your network traffic.
Wireshark is several tools in one application. You can use it to analyze the structure of your wireless network in search of potential configuration errors. It can identify many types of encapsulation and isolate and display all the fields that make up a network packet. It also works as a packet sniffer, similar to tcpdump.
With all of those powerful capabilities, you might think Wireshark would be hard to learn.
