Wireshark is used to monitor network traffic. After starting that there are a lot of connection which are available in the host network can been seen. Using the network connection can be established to the other interfaces like VMWare Network adapter and virtual box adapter. The Wireshark software is used to monitor all the connection which are connected to the host network thus created a controlled environment. Here Wi-Fi is selecting as network, after selecting the network the Wireshark can start capturing the packets in the network.

WIRELESS NETWORK ADAPTER

From the screenshot, It is observed that there are the number of protocols which are captured like the TCP and UDP and TLSv1.2. This is normal for the Wi-Fi to receive the packets which are coming from outside the network.

If we click on TCP protocols the details of the protocols like the Frame, Ethernet, IPV4, TCP can been seen.

WIRESHARK

Expanding the Frame in the TCP layer is shown in the screenshot. It is observed that there are the various number of parameter which are record while the data is being filtered. There are frame numbers and time stamp for the packets. From the statistics, the conversation between the packet and the port number which the packet used to communicate can be obtained. This screenshot gives a detailed view of the packet which are moving in the network.
