The address of a web server can be easily retrieved on Wireshark by looking at the “Destination” tab. Also, I could open command prompt and ping the entire domain and receive the IP address in relation to it. Therefore, the IP address of the “gaia.cs.umass.edu” server is 128.119.245.12. See Figures 9 and 10.
Once I set up the date and time I was able to determine the time it took my computer to receive an answer from the HTTP server. The time it takes from when a message is sent to when a reply is received depends on the web server. Depending on how many web servers the request has to navigate through until it gets to the destination server and vice versa will be how long the messages will travel.

Next, I stopped the capture and the results were as in Figure 5.
Wireshark will capture packets in the background, even when we are not aware of. There is always network communication going on between devices in a network.
To see how Wireshark captures the packets I accessed the website: http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/wireshark-labs/INTRO-wireshark-file1.html. Which looks just like Figure 4
To begin capturing messages and packets, I simply double-clicked the Local Area Network (LAN) on top, which is the one that is actually producing traffic. All sorts of communications were going on when I looked at the screen. Wireshark is now capturing all packets being sent/received from/by your computer! As shown in Figure 3.
To start Wireshark, I went through my computer and found the installer .exe file. Once installed I opened it and the first thing on the screen was the Internet Interfaces. The screenshot below shows that my computer has two Local Area Connections, however, only one is actively receiving/sending packets.
Wireshark is one of the tools cyber security experts should always keep in the toolbox because it is one of the most complete networking tools that exist. Wireshark can be used for either troubleshooting a network or optimizing the network's security. The tool allows us to examine packets that are being sent and received which is an excellent method to mitigate vulnerabilities. Also, by analyzing
Every Computer that connects to a network must have a Network Interface Card (NIC). Most new Computers have them built into the motherboard. It has one or sometimes more RJ45 socket(s) that connect to a modem. The older and deprecated version used to have RJ11 sockets to connect to the network. Due to it being extremely vulnerable to phreaking and war-dialing, it has now been replaced with
This created physical connection between PC’s and the network line. Connected data’s are transporting data’s through the network. Cable is a medium through which information usually moves to one network to another network.
When you type in a web address, e.g.www.google.com. DNS associates with the domain name, translates into IP address (for example 192.168.154.70 is the IP for google.com) and directs your Internet connection to the correct website.
that it's a local area network II / web Protocol Version four / Transmission management Protocol / Secure Sockets Layer frame. Additionally notice that the local area network II, web Protocol Version four, and Transmission management Protocol values area unit in line with the transmission control protocol affiliation analyzed in Activity three.
In general, an IP address along with a port number forms a socket. Figure 3.10 shows the
Above is a screenshot of the main interface, courtesy of Wireshark. Quite simply, you start the capture by clicking the shark fin, with the results shown in the main window. Clicking on an entry expands on it in the bottom frame, allowing you to see the full
In general, on the internet, every packet follows 5 layers of structures (Application, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical). Since I have to talk about Connection-Oriented and Connectionless as a service, I will focus on the Transport layer because they are part of this layer. It allows multiple applications to use one network connection simultaneously, the layer will create ports on your computer allowing them to be reserved and used by the Application layer. Let's say that port 3600 will be used to send a message to port 80 of some other computer, whenever the port is ready to send a message, it passed on to Transport layer. In this layer, it wraps the message inside the Segment which contains some additional
2. If the entry is not found, ARP builds an ARP Request frame containing the MAC address of the interface sending the ARP Request, the IP address of the interface sending the ARP Request, and the forwarding IP address. ARP then broadcasts the ARP Request using the appropriate interface.
Also cable lines running to fiber optic lines, through routers. And lastly it could be radio waves that computers can broadcast and receive or a combination of the above mentioned which are connected to enable communication via a modem, network card, radio transmitter, or router etc… sending your credentials in packets from your console through cabling to local access networks, regional networks, core/long-haul networks and ocean networks.
basis, which list information about the sending router. Included in the packets are a series of
Sockets is the form of communication (UDP and TCP) use the socket abstraction, which provides an endpoint for communication between processes to processes. Interprocess communication consists of transmitting a message between a socket in one process and a socket in another process. As the IP packets underlying UDP and TCP are sent to Internet addresses.
In my first screenshot, I have captured 4888 packets from my Local Area Connection. Within the first screenshot it shows the capture filters which includes TCP, IPX, UDP, etc. Furthermore, it’s just showing how to capture packets within a network. Wireshark is a sniffer that helps the user search within packets that allows it to be monitored to be analyzed with data. The purpose of this Hands-on Activity 4A, was to have the student experience and learn how to download and use a software (Wireshark) to increase their knowledge of advantages and disadvantages are within a sniffer. The steps I took were to browse the selection of the options provided on the program. I read some of the instructions in the textbook, Business Data Communications
The above image is a painting by Antonio Ruiz and is called “El sueño de la Malinche” meaning “The Dream of Malinche”. It depicts a Mexican town within the Aztec Empire, that is built upon a resting woman named Malinche. The image depicts the woman sleeping with the the Mexican city lying on her, therefore with one toss or turn being catastrophic to the city, and is further depicted to have lightning striking her head, which means to further risk the Mexican City being destroyed by Malinche’s action.
Protocol capture tools and protocol analyzers are important tools for an information systems security professional. These utilities can be used to troubleshoot issues on the network. They can verify adherence to corporate policies, such as whether or not clear text privacy data is being sent on the network. They can be used to test security countermeasures and firewall deployments and are needed to perform audits, security assessments, network baseline definitions, and identification of rogue IP devices.
Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams may arrive in a seemingly random order of chunks that the receiving IP entity must continuously collect until it can reconstruct the original datagram. Consider that the receiving IP entity possesses a buffer for assembling the original datagram's data field. The buffer will comprise of chunks of data and "holes" between them corresponding to data not yet received.
