Wireshark

Wireshark software is used every day by me and my IT team as a specific tool for capturing and analyzing traffic on our networks. It is super intuitive and complete to identify the different types of protocols that travel through our network and identify anomalies, failures, and prevention of attack problems. We have been using Wireshark for about 3 years, and only with this tool do we have deep details of the inbound and outbound traffic of our lan and wlan network, and we do daily analysis and reports to always seek the best performance and security.

Have done troubleshooting of network traffic using this software. It’s helped to dissect the problem up to the granular level of network packets. It was great help identify the the handshake issue algorithm compatibility issues with the database server and client. Without the Wireshark it would be hard to navigate to the root cause of the issue.

We/I use Wireshark to capture and to analyze both wireless and wired network traffic. It is an absolutely required tool for any system administrator or network administrator. Our entire IT department uses it. Wireshark is both free and open source software, which, for what it does, saves us a lot of money. This graphical tool is easy to use and makes network packet analysis far less painful than if we had to rely just on the command line. Using Wireshark, we can analyze network traffic for further analysis ourselves or we can capture it and send it as a pcap file to a security consultant for further investigation. It is an essential part of our administrative toolbox.

Wireshark is used both in the network team and helpdesk team. It helps us to identify and troubleshoot network connectivity issues.

Wireshark is used across all of our client sites for in-depth network troubleshooting. Out of all the tools we have at our disposal, the ability to install a managed switch inline with a problematic device and/or workstation allows our technicians to deep dive into the network traffic and locate the issue.
