Analysing Network Information and Protocol Using Wireshark
Advances in Multidisciplinary & Scientific Research Journal Publication · 2022
The volume and variety of threats and attacks against computer systems has increased the value of computer network security. There is growing need for a network manager to have the ability to inspect and analyse network data in order to understand what is going on and to respond quickly if an attack is detected. During a network investigation, protocol analysis is the evaluation of some fields in a protocol's data structure. Understanding the components of a network protocol may be quite beneficial during an inquiry. Wireshark is a useful tool for analysing network packets and their dynamics and may be used to identify and categorize many sorts of attack in this regard. This paper examines network protocols that are often utilized by applications using Wireshark. Wireshark can decode the stream of data traveling across a network and display those bits in the protocol's structured representation. The purpose of this paper is to show how Wireshark may be used to analyse network information and protocol.
