This paper illustrates the functionality of Wireshark as a sniffing tool in networks. This has been proven by an experimental setup which depicts the efficiency of detection of a malicious packet in any network. Testing has been achieved through experimentation on a real time network analyzed by Wireshark. Inferences have been made which clearly depict Wireshark’s capabilities highlighting it as a strong candidate for future development into a robust intrusion detection system. This paper highlights the working of Wireshark as a network protocol analyzer and also accentuates its flexibility as an open source utility to allow developers to add possible functionalities of intrusion detection devices in it.
