You Should Know: Essential Wireshark Commands & Techniques

1. Basic Wireshark Commands

 Capture live traffic on Linux 
wireshark -k -i eth0

Filter HTTP traffic 
http

Filter by IP 
ip.addr == 192.168.1.1

Filter by protocol 
tcp.port == 443 

2. Advanced Packet Analysis

 Extract files from PCAP 
tshark -r capture.pcap --export-objects http,/path/to/save

Detect ARP spoofing 
arp.duplicate-address-frame

Find DNS queries 
dns.qry.name contains "google.com" 

3. Automating Wireshark with Bash

 Capture traffic for 60 seconds 
timeout 60 tshark -i eth0 -w output.pcap

Analyze packet sizes 
tshark -r output.pcap -T fields -e frame.len | sort -n 

4. Windows Wireshark CLI (TShark)

 List available interfaces 
tshark -D

Capture only HTTPS traffic 
tshark -i "Ethernet" -Y "tcp.port==443" -w https_traffic.pcap 

What Undercode Say

The of a Wireshark certification validates the importance of packet analysis in cybersecurity. Professionals should master:
– Traffic Filtering (tcp.flags.syn==1)
– Malware Detection (frame contains "malware_string")
– Performance Tuning (io.graph)

Expected Output:

1. Improved network troubleshooting skills 
2. Better threat detection in encrypted traffic 
3. Career advancement with Wireshark certification 

Prediction

As cyber threats evolve, Wireshark certifications will become a standard requirement for SOC analysts, network defenders, and incident responders. Expect more organizations to mandate Wireshark proficiency for security roles.
