HELLO & WELCOME

[KenBrace]

How many of you use Wireshark?

If so, what do you primarily use it for?

[SteveAtVoIP2Go]

I use it daily for debugging VoIP calls. I could not run my business without it.

It is useful to see what traffic is going through the network, but i find it difficult to use and you have to get lucky with the packets as most of the time it is just unreadable garbage.

I used it once to sniff out some torrents on the network and managed to get some headers. If i spent some time studying wireshark i'm sure i could do a lot more with it, but it's just something i use when needed for a task.

I learned the basics of how to use it in CCNA training but I've probably forgotten most of it.

It's a great tool though. It's also one of the reasons we need SSH. :P

I use Wireshark. I primarily use it for seeing where the traffic is going. Ive had a pleasant experience with Wireshark and would recommend it.

How long did it take before you learned how to use it efficiently and apply it to a practical business environment?

I was able to learn the basics pretty quick but I still found the program slightly difficult to navigate and understand.

I've never heard of wireshark before, but I would definitely like to learn how I could apply it.

And make good use of this information for my business.

Wireshark allows you to view the activity inside a network.

It allows you to see the individual packets traveling in and out of the network. It's very handy for troubleshooting.

I can't use it. I don't understand it and end up with problems. It makes my head throb.
