Wireshark D3 V2 - How is traffic capturedSPAN Port

The video tutorial explains the differences between hub-based and switch-based network architectures, focusing on how traffic is managed and analyzed. It highlights the use of Wireshark for traffic analysis and the importance of proper installation for visibility. The concept of port mirroring, specifically SPAN (Switched Port Analyzer), is introduced as a method to forward all network traffic to a single port for analysis. Various mirroring technologies, including full duplex taps, are discussed for their role in network security. The tutorial concludes with guidance on configuring SPAN to ensure comprehensive traffic analysis.
