Wireshark Simplified

The video tutorial introduces Wireshark, a tool for analyzing network traffic, and explains its use in capturing and filtering data. It covers the basics of TCP connections, including the three-way handshake for establishing and terminating connections. A live demonstration shows how to use Wireshark to capture and analyze traffic between a client and server. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using capture and display filters to manage large amounts of data effectively.

What is the primary purpose of using capture and display filters in Wireshark?

• To increase network speed

• To manage and analyze large amounts of traffic data

• To encrypt network traffic

• To create network protocols

Which libraries does Wireshark use for packet capturing on Linux and Windows?

• Libpcap and WinPcap

• Tcpdump and Nmap

• Wireshark and Tcpdump

• Nmap and Wireshark

What is the sequence of packets in a TCP three-way handshake?

• SYN, ACK, SYN-ACK

• ACK, SYN, SYN-ACK

• SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK

• SYN-ACK, SYN, ACK

What happens after the client sends a FIN packet to terminate a TCP connection?

• The server sends a SYN packet

• The server sends a FIN-ACK packet

• The server sends an ACK packet

• The client sends another SYN packet

What is the first step in using Wireshark to capture network traffic?

• Filter the interface to capture traffic on

• Save the captured data

• Start capturing packets

• Analyze the captured data

Which part of the Wireshark interface shows the low-level data like hex data bits?

• Network section

• Capture engine

• Capture filter

• Display filter

In the practical example, which port is used to listen for traffic on the cloud server?

• Port 80

• Port 222

• Port 443

• Port 8080
