Part 3 (The TCP Handshake)
In them, I proceeded to go over the process for install Wireshark and WinPcap on a Windows computer. I looked at starting up Wireshark for the very first time Then, selecting an interface and performing a simple packet capture. This third and final part expands on the prior two parts and presents filter systems. Previously, we looked at the TCP header.
Now let’s turn our focus on the IP header and what it includes. Some more interesting ideals are shown here. Aside from the source and destination IP address being visible, we can see that the version of IP used is 4 and that the header size is 20 bytes. Furthermore, there’s a good field that defines which protocol the IP header is encapsulating – in our case, TCP.

All useful information that could potentially be used for constructing filters. Although I touch on this later, I recommend you follow the links by the end of this article for more information on this. Given that we’ve reviewed a simple capture and how to view everything contained within individual packets, let’s take a look at how we can filter the packets.
We’ll stick with our Google capture for the moment. Say we only want to see the packets that originate from Google rather than the ones that originate from our local machine. How can we do that? It’s pretty self-explanatory and effectively just tells Wireshark to show all packets that have a source IP address of 141.30.3.84. After pressing Enter, the list of captured packets changes showing only the packets we want to see instantly. Clearly, the use of filter systems could be useful extremely.
If you’re running Wireshark on a huge corporate and business network and are viewing a large number of packets take flight past each second, you can’t possibly pick out the ones you want – especially not in a live catch. But by utilizing a filtration system, it’s easy. You can filter predicated on a huge number of things: source, destination, process, slot, subnet, flags, and far, a lot more.
This website provides more info on how to create these filters. Clicking the Expression button next to the filtration system box can also help you construct them, although it will not be discussed in this particular article. This section was considered appropriate as it could prove useful for individuals new to Wireshark. All users of Wireshark can identify a TCP handshake.
In days gone by, I’ve had a need to determine whether a TCP handshake is taking place or whether something – be it suspicious routing, a misconfigured firewall or a faulty network cards – is stopping it. So how can we check? Have a look at another screenshot. I’ve begun a fresh live catch and established a fresh connection to Google.
