Wireshark Reviews

Pros of Wireshark are 1) Open Source 2) Support on Windows, Linux, MAC, Solaris 3) Presence of both command shell and graphical user interface 4) Port Mirroring 5) Inbuilt support for WinPcap, libPcap 6) Filter creation for better packet capture techniques

Few cons of Wireshark are 1) Running Wireshark through an admin account for multiple exploits, is unsecured 2) Cannot manipulate things on the network 3) Cannot be used for MIDM attacks 4) Lack of intrusion detection module 5) Lack of modules for ARP poisoning and caching

Wireshark is the world's most powerful network protocol analyzer tool. It can be used for various purposes such as, analysis of protocols like TCP, HTTP, UDP, and complete analysis of networks and troubleshooting. It has the option to use the wireless adapter directly in promiscuous mode for interception of wireless packets. It is much more effective than other tools such as tcpdump and dumpcap with a good user interface and hex detection.

Wireshark is an open-source network protocol used to monitor and analyze packets in a network.Wireshark analyzes networks, captures traffic and decrypts information passed through the communication channels into a form that is readable and can thus be used to learn how network protocols work.Wireshark also captures traffic that can help in troubleshooting network problems and it is free.

Wireshark is also used for hacking which is a security breach. This can happen in wireless networks because they are not secure and most protocols of which are also not secure.Hackers use Wireshark to capture login details or information sent over networks. It is a free open source software that can be freely downloaded from the internet. Wireshark can be used on windows systems, Unix systems as well as Mac OS X systems and can also capture raw USB traffic.

We are using Wireshark for inspecting the vertical line to know the data flow in and out of the cables. This is to determine if there is real traffic flow through the physical connections or not. 

Additionally, we use Wireshark for physical inspection on the data line.

Wireshark saves a lot of time, especially with network troubleshooting.

The features I find most effective in Wireshark include the current speed monitoring, data flow inspection, PPPoE clients, and inspecting our advanced switches and routers. 

Packet capturing capabilities are what I'm currently using the most.

The speed of the Internet could be improved, especially its performance. Performance can sometimes be a challenge due to numerous factors.

I have been working with Wireshark for more than five years.

I would rate the stability of Wireshark as nine out of ten.

Wireshark is quite scalable, and I would also rate its scalability at nine out of ten.

The initial setup of Wireshark is simple for new users. However, there are complex features that require expertise to understand. The interface is easy, and everything is well-arranged, allowing users to find functionalities easily from the options tab.

Wireshark is priced at a medium range, not too high, not too low. The pricing could be more flexible, and they might make it more expensive. That said, compared to other products, it is competitive.

I have heard from colleagues that other solutions do not provide exact results. Comparatively, Wireshark is better and more popular.

I recommend Wireshark to users of both small and enterprise-level companies. It is effective for the minimum business and large enterprise scales.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

On-premises

I use the solution to analyze packet captures that I receive from customers. It can also be used for troubleshooting networking issues.

The session-level filtering features are valuable. Life would be tough without Wireshark.

The decryption of encrypted packets could be better.

I have been using the solution for about eight years.

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.

I rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten. Around 10 to 15 people in my team use the solution.

I have explored Microsoft Message Analyzer.

The initial setup is simple.

I work for Cisco. We use a custom version of Wireshark, which is built within Cisco. I might be using functions that don’t exist in the community version. I haven't contacted the support team. When I had an issue a few years ago, I contacted the person who developed it. I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
