Wireshark is a network analysis tool that enables the inspection and analysis of network traffic. It operates by capturing and dissecting network packets that traverse the computer network. Wireshark can save and display the content and metadata of the packets, which helps in understanding the behavior of network traffic and detecting potential issues or security threats.
You can inspect individual packets, analyze their protocol data, view message timing, and determine how different systems communicate with each other over the network. It supports multiple network protocols such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, and many others.
