Wireshark Meeting
October 19, 2020
BSU Cyber Club
Jie Yan is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Cyber Club is meeting this Thursday Oct. 19 4:15pm-5:00pm. Dr. Agada will be talking about WireShark - a network packet Analyzer tool.
Here is a little bit more information regarding WireShark:
Wireshark is a network packet analyzer. A network packet analyzer presents captured packet data in as much detail as possible.
You could think of a network packet analyzer as a measuring device for examining what’s happening inside a network cable, just like an electrician uses a voltmeter for examining what’s happening inside an electric cable (but at a higher level, of course).
In the past, such tools were either very expensive, proprietary, or both. However, with the advent of Wireshark, that has changed. Wireshark is available for free, is open source, and is one of the best packet analyzers available today
