Packet-capture files can be hard to use due to their size. Wireshark has a tool called tshark that can parse the files with out opening them so that you can take large captures, say 2-10GB, and return only relevant information.
Wireshark offers tools like tshark for parsing packet-captures without opening files, enhancing network analysis through drill-down options. It provides deep-packet inspection and extensive filtering for effective traffic analysis. While decryption and custom analysis are useful, challenges exist in processing large files and command line tool application. Varying configuration across systems can cause compatibility issues. Its steep learning curve for beginners highlights the need for improved usability and better filtering rule enhancements.
