"Best network debug application"
5/5
What do you like best about Wireshark?

What I like best about the Wireshark it provides very simple solutions for the network connecting issues. With Wireshark, we keep track of packet data information exchange between two different networks. Wireshark supports multiple types of protocols formates so we can easily debug the issues and we easily capture the packets data exchange information also. It has a user-friendly environment for the debug any type of protocol issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wireshark?

What I dislike about the Wireshark sometimes it won't provide the data exchange information between the networks. Very little support towards USB data capture. users may feel the data security issues while using Wireshark. it will also show all unwanted networks also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Wireshark - the ever dependable network companion"
5/5
What do you like best about Wireshark?

Wireshark makes it possible to analyze packets from various interfaces such as LAN, WIFI, Bluetooth, and even USB. It supports the primary OS such as Windows, macOS, and Linux, among others. I like that it comes with an Npcap installer, which makes it more efficient and secured since it can be provisioned only for users with administrative privileges. It can also now extract mp4 videos.

What do you dislike about Wireshark?

There is nothing to dislike about this open-source network analyzer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very helpful software for students in networking"
5/5
What do you like best about Wireshark?

This thing i like the best is the ability to integrate wireshark with GNS3. Overtime it has been really easy to work wireshark with GNS3. You can easily learn about the different protocols being used and their binary value.

Use of filters in wirekshark makes it real easy for students and engineers to find out packets.

Wireshark gives you exact packet header of any packet passing in topology, You can open the packet even if there is security layer over it.

You can use wireshark to detect traffic on local network interfaces as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wireshark?

Wireshark doesn't open encaspsulated packets completey. You can find the difference in control and data plane.

Control Plane is making decisions about where traffic is sent. It uses routing protocols for the processing of control plane packets. Routers construct the routing table using exchange of topology with other routers and update their routing table.

Data Plane is also called forwarding plane and used to forwards the packets using control plane logic . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
