Wireshark Tutorial for Beginners - Installation

Key Takeaways

hey guys hack blit here back again with another video and welcome to wire shark for beginners so in these set of tutorials I'm going to be teaching you how to use wire shark and I'm going to be moving you from an beginner level to an advanced level or or an intermediate level so you might be asking what is wire shock well wies shock is a traffic analyzer now you might be asking why do I need to learn wi shock well if you're a network administrator system administ rator and you're interested in basically monitoring what's going on on the network this would be handy for you or if you're just a curious parent at home wants to make sure that your children aren browsing the web um you know in more uh illicit uh methods I mean visiting um inappropriate websites and stuff like that so basically it's just a tool for monitoring what's going on on your Wi-Fi network that's basically it for the Layman so I I guess anyone can really learn how to use this tool it's nothing really hard so yeah let's get to it so I'm over here on their website it's wi.org uh there we are that's the website I will link it in the description section if you don't want to type it out I don't know how long that will take but um yeah once you load it up uh you just want to hit download um and it's free by the way uh so the current stable release is y shark 2.2.3 so uh we have uh the latest uh stable release uh here you have your different platforms you have you have a Windows micros um you have source code for Linux I do believe that you have to install it through the terminal on Linux let me know if you want a tutorial on that uh so again you have your different architectures in terms of platforms uh so you have a 64-bit windows and 32bit windows uh I'm going to download the 64-bit because that's the version of Windows I'm running and the processor of basically the processor that I'm running but I already have it downloaded and installed uh please do note that during the installation uh I want to make uh you have to just uh install Windows uh win peap that's what it's called Uh it will give you that prompt during the installation to install win peap now make sure you do install winp cap because uh as again it's one of the components that goes hand in hand with wire shock so uh once you have it uh downloaded and installed it's very simple process I have it right here very nice icon it say a Shar fin a blue Shar fin boot it up and you're greeted by what appears to be a loading menu uh and this a very very very uh complicated looking uh program but don't worry it's nothing really complicated so basically what I'm going to do I'm just going to give you a basic overview here of what to do to get started uh we're going to look at the advanced stuff in the next video I'm going to cover that then so uh welcome to wiho well thank you very much so it tells me to capture uh don't worry about this using enter a capture filter so basically here what it's asking you is what uh network interface card are you using and want to use to monitor your traffic so right now you can see there's some activity on my Wi-Fi card H that's pretty interesting so I think I'm going to use my Wi-Fi card although if you're using it ethernet just go ahead uh don't worry about these VMware network adapters I have virtual machines running on my computer that's why they have these uh virtual Network ad adapters and I really do know that they might not be working unless you're actually running the virtual machine but nonetheless that's for another video what I'm going to do is I'm just going to hit Wi-Fi there we are and it's uh you want to hit this green button oh it's already started so um unfortunately I did not have to uh press the start button it already started for me so that's the thing uh if you want to if you want to start a capture just hit the green button if you want to stop it hit red all right and then once you stopped uh it's going to stop capturing the packets so that's basically how to get started using W shock I'm going to cover all the other basically the tools and um basically the all the other nooks and crannies uh in the next video but uh yeah
