Wireshark - network monitoring tool



When we talk about network, for non-it people they will think it only internet. Network have wide coverage from LAN( Local Area Network) to WAN( Wide Area Network) or so called internet nowadays. by network we can do many things, for example, sharing data, download data, chatting or face-booking. 

so today im gonna explain what this software have to do with networking whether its wireless or wired connection.
This software often used by network administrator to check whether they have multiple connection, single connection, incoming, outgoing data or traffic from the source to designated location.

for example, pc a want to transmit data to pc b but there is no way to check the data transmitted through router or bridge. So here comes Wireshark! it can monitor, tell, and configure and detected misconfiguration inside your network. 

furthermore, it most widely used to monitor larger scale network inside company. So it don't sweat over small networking though, don't worry.

so i don't have wireshark installed like hacker did. i just pointing the tutorial out for you guys.
