What is Wireshark FOR LINUX?

Wireshark

Wireshark is a cool open-source tool that tons of network pros use worldwide. It's super handy for figuring out what's going on with network traffic. Whether you're troubleshooting or diving into software and protocol development, Wireshark has got your back!

Capture and Analyze Network Data

With Wireshark, you can easily capture data right from a live network connection. Plus, it can read and write from popular capture file formats like tcpdump output by the libpcap library, Pcap NG, Cisco Secure IDS iplog, Microsoft Network Monitor, Novell LANalyzer, and Network Instruments Observer.

Read/Write Multiple Formats

This program is pretty flexible! It can handle both uncompressed and compressed capture file formats from various tools like Network General Sniffer, Catapult DCT2000, Finisar/Shomiti Surveyor, Sniffer Pro, NetScreen snoop, NetXray, RADCOM WAN/LAN Analyzer, Tektronix K12xx, WildPackets AiroPeek/EtherPeek/TokenPeek, Visual Networks Visual UpTime, and many more!

User-Friendly Interface

You don’t need to be a tech wizard to use it! Captured network data can be browsed using an easy-to-understand GUI (Graphical User Interface) or you can go old school with the command-line. And if you want to edit or convert capture files automatically? No problem! You can do that with command-line options of the "editcap" program.

Flexible Output Options

You can save or print your output in various formats like PostScript, CSV (Comma Separated Values), XML or even Plain Text files. Plus, there's a neat feature called “display filters” that lets you selectively color and highlight summary info from captured packets.

Protocol Decryption Capabilities

If you're dealing with well-known protocols like WPA/WPA2, WEP, IPsec, Kerberos, TLS/SSL or SNMP version 3? Wireshark can decrypt those too! It’s super versatile—it reads live data from IEEE 802.11 networks as well as Ethernet and Bluetooth connections.

Multi-Platform Support

This application runs smoothly on many operating systems including Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Seriously though—if you're into any type of network protocol analysis at all—give Wireshark a try! It's been named the most popular network analyzer in the world for good reason!
