How to Download Wireshark


If you are working in networking domain you should know how to use wireshark and how it is helping to capture data packets from wireshark, So before start about to learning wireshark we have to install Wireshark with our systems if you do not know how to install it here I am providing you brief explanation of Wireshark Installation.


How to Download Wireshark



Downloading and installing Wireshark is easy. Step one is to check the official Wireshark Download page for the operating system you need. The basic version of Wireshark is free.



Wireshark for Windows


Wireshark comes in two flavors for Windows, 32 bit and 64 bit. Pick the correct version for your OS.  The installation is simple and shouldn’t cause any issues.



Wireshark for Mac


Wireshark is available on Mac as a Homebrew install.


To install Homebrew, you need to run this command at your Terminal prompt:


/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”


Once you have the Homebrew system in place, you can access several open-source projects for your Mac. To install Wireshark run this command from the Terminal:


brew install wireshark


Homebrew will download and install Wireshark and any dependencies so it will run correctly.


Wireshark for Linux


Installing Wireshark on Linux can be a little different depending on the Linux distribution. If you aren’t running one of the following distros, please double-check the commands.



Ubuntu


From a terminal prompt, run these commands:


sudo apt-get install wireshark


sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common


sudo adduser $USER wireshark


Those commands download the package, update the package, and add user privileges to run Wireshark.



Red Hat Fedora


From a terminal prompt, run these commands:


sudo dnf install wireshark-qt


sudo usermod -a -G wireshark username


The first command installs the GUI and CLI version of Wireshark, and the second adds permissions to use Wireshark.



Kali Linux


Wireshark is probably already installed! It’s part of the basic package. Check your menu to verify. It’s under the menu option “Sniffing & Spoofing.

What is STP? - Explain Advantages and Disadvantages

The Spanning Tree Protocol is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. STP is a protocol. It actively monitors all links of the network. To finds a redundant link, it uses an algorithm, known as the STA (spanning-tree algorithm). The STA algorithm first creates a topology database then it finds and disables the redundant links. Once redundant links are disabled, only the STP-chosen links remain active. If a new link is added or an existing link is removed, the STP re-runs the STA algorithm and re-adjusts all links to reflect the change. STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) automatically removes layer 2 switching loops by shutting down the redundant links. A redundant link is an additional link between two switches. A redundant link is usually created for backup purposes. Just like every coin has two sides, a redundant link, along with

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of TCP/UDP ?? Difference between TCP and UDP

As in previous blog we have define and explain about what is TCP and UDP and from now we are moving ahead with Advantages, Disadvantages and Difference of TCP and UDP but for this you have to know about TCP and UDP hence to understand it go for a What is TCP and UDP . Advantage of TCP Here, are pros/benefits of TCP: It helps you to establish/set up a connection between different types of computers. It operates independently of the operating system. It supports many routing-protocols. It enables the internetworking between the organizations. TCP/IP model has a highly scalable client-server architecture. It can be operated independently. Supports several routing protocols. It can be used to establish a connection between two computers. Disadvantages of TCP Here, are disadvantage of using TCP: TCP never conclude a transmission without all data in motion being explicitly asked. You can't use for broadcast or multicast transmission. TCP has no block boundaries, so you
