However, if the operating system supports it, Wireshark can usually capture network media it knows that "travel" on top of that network / bus.Įxample: Wireshark can usual capture Ethernet data from a PCI Ethernet adapter but it cannot capture the raw PCI data transferred over the PCI bus. There are several networks / busses from which Wireshark cannot capture raw data. WinPcapRemote - WinPcap remote capturing (client for Win32, daemons for Win32 and Linux) - currently not working ! VLAN - capture VLAN traffic, including VLAN tags Here is the ICMP request and reply packets for Google ping. Analysis on ICMP: Let’s check what happens in Wireshark when we ping to Google or 192.168.1.1. Pipes - use UNIX pipes to capture from other applications (even remote !) Step5: Stop Wireshark and put ICMP as filter in Wireshark. Loopback - capture traffic from a machine to itself, including the IP address 127.0.0.1 WLAN - capture on 802.11 ( WLAN, Wi-Fi) interfaces, including "monitor mode", raw 802.11 headers and radio information TokenRing - capture on TokenRing adapters, including promiscuous mode and switched networks SS7 - capture SS7 traffic on TDM (T1/E1/J1/T3/E3/J3) links PPP links - capture on dial-up lines, ISDN connections and PPP-over-Ethernet (PPPoe, e.g. IrDA - capture IrDA traffic - currently limited to Linux.

The following discuss various capture issues for particular types of networks Physical interfacesīluetooth - capture Bluetooth traffic - currently limited to affix stack on linuxĬiscoHDLC links - capture on synchronous links using Cisco HDLC encapsulationĭOCSIS - capture raw Cisco DOCSIS cable modem traffic forwarded to EthernetĮthernet - capture on different Ethernet topologies, including switched networks
Wireshark initializing external capture plugins windows#
Windows does not have a UNIX-style loopback interface.On some platforms: WLAN non-control frames only, with fake Ethernet headers, and only traffic to and from the machine doing the capturing.Latest libpcap CVS required (which exact version?).This is a table giving the network types supported on various platforms: Interface The capture library libpcap / WinPcap, and the underlying packet capture mechanisms it uses, don't support capturing on all network types on all platforms Wireshark and TShark use libpcap/WinPcap, and thus have the same limitations it does.
