One More Thing (Paul W. Smith )

 

Everyone loves a good saying.  Aphorisms – those terse statements instilled with a modicum of truth – are a popular part of our language.  The term originated with Greek physician Hippocrates who once aphorized, “To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy.”  Ironically, he is also regarded as the Father of Medicine.  The more aphorisms are used, the more credibility they accrue.  

It is widely known that actions speak louder than words, he who hesitates is lost, and if you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.  It is reassuring that a barking dog never bites, and that absence makes the heart grow fonder.  

Create a Wireshark Auto‑Capture Shortcut: Instant Packet Sniffing on Launch

In this video, I show you how to streamline your workflow in Wireshark by creating a Windows desktop shortcut that launches the program and immediately begins capturing packets. Instead of navigating menus or manually starting a capture each time, the tutorial walks you through a simple command‑line tweak that transforms Wireshark into a one‑click network analysis tool. It’s a small optimization with a big impact, especially if you frequently monitor network traffic.

When Is A Lost Packet Not Lost?

I was working with a customer and started explaining the concept of what I affectionately refer to as, “application baselining”. I asked my client to pick an application to test and he chose his favorite network monitoring application.

Wireshark Trace File Reporting Using Excel

If you have ever opened a large Wireshark capture file and thought, “There has to be an easier way to see what is happening here,” you are not alone. A packet capture contains an incredible amount of information, but sometimes the packet list itself makes it difficult to visualize a problem. One technique I like to demonstrate is taking data from a Wireshark trace file and turning it into an Excel graph. Instead of scrolling through thousands of packets, you can transform the data into a simple visual representation that makes changes in packet rate, traffic volume, delays, or other measurements much easier to spot.
