    May I also point out that many modern network devices can do embedded packet captures. You basically filter on direction, interface, and what you would like to match for example, with an access list. it adds a buffer of capture packets, which you can view a summary or export to a PCAP.

    • @ChrisGreer
      @ChrisGreer  Před 2 lety

      Hey - thanks for the comment. Probably not just because most of the time, people are using Ethernet interfaces to capture, or wifi. So I’d probably do some Wifi content if anything.

    Is Wireshark capable of capturing 10gig interfaces? Im able to capture on the switchport connecting to the server but its 10g and the capture is blank when i open it (also for 10g AP switch interfaces)? Also, Im hoping in a future lesson to see you dissect CAPWAP tunnel data, seems to be alot more in these packets that go to APs interfaces. Thanks!

      @@joeharyar9873 I don't have a specific video to follow along with for that case, but it should be pretty straightforward. Start wireshark on the client, open the ftp or ssh session to the server, stop wireshark. Look at what is happening over port 20, 21, 22, and any other dynamic port between the client and server. You'll get it!

    How do you typically capture the server side when its a VMware environment or cloud in a production environment? Do packet brokers help in a data center? Thanks!

    • @ChrisGreer
      @ChrisGreer  Před 2 lety +2

      Thanks for the comment Tenz. I rarely merge. I do side by side analysis with two different instances of Wireshark open. In a cloud environment, it all depends. If my customer has the support package, we involve AWS support and enlist their help to get a server-side pcap from the virtual network. If that is not available, sometimes the only choice is to get a dumpcap from the server itself. But that is always plan Z.

    Lesson #4 and I still don't understand how to start capturing the traffic. Freshly installed wireshark as a portable. 6 interfaces that definitely not what I need. I just need to capture tcp traffic. And I can't figure out how to do this. But instead, I already set up a policy for files and other not important stuff for me. Could you please explain in you videos what are those interfaces I see (in the menu Capture Options) and how to find the right interface to capture my wi-fi traffic?
