What is Wireshark?
Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer. It captures network traffic in real-time and provides detailed information about the data being transmitted, including source and destination addresses, protocols used, and the data payload. This allows users to examine network activity at a granular level, making it a powerful tool for analyzing network behavior and identifying potential security issues.
