CYBER SECURITY (Penetration Testing Prerequisites) 1.3 WireShark & Data Sniffing

WireShark: do do do do, :D

Wireshark is a network sniffer tool. a sniffer tool allows you to see the data transmitted over the network to and from the computer.

  • it's power full tool that can do many things like capture the network traffic and allow you to analyze it, I will discuss in depth how we can use it in a proper way, but for now, I will show you how we will use it to know the difference between clear-text and cryptographic protocols.
