Security analysts have the knowledge necessary to identify the types of traffic that are present in a network, identify instances of abnormally high traffic, and identify the network nodes responsible. Assisting users in locating servers and the destinations of data flows, network traffic visualization can also help researchers identify online threats. With Wireshark’s capabilities as a packet tracer and capture tool, network analysis starts and ends with the packet capture parameters selected in this study. Wireshark is used in this study to create a network tracker. In order to identify the source Internet Protocol (IP) and destination IP on a Google map, will capture the data packets using packet tracer, analyze them, and then translate the IP addresses into latitude and longitude values. This will let users visualize network traffic on a Google map and track it.
