1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,277 2 00:00:08,285 --> 00:00:10,525 Essentially with navigating the GUI, 3 00:00:10,525 --> 00:00:12,525 one of the things that we want to do 4 00:00:12,525 --> 00:00:16,193 is we want to ensure that 5 00:00:16,193 --> 00:00:17,988 we've started with the dashboard and 6 00:00:17,988 --> 00:00:19,870 we understand what the launchpad is. 7 00:00:19,870 --> 00:00:24,095 This is the start page or what we call, 8 00:00:24,095 --> 00:00:25,993 I like to call the launchpad 'cause 9 00:00:25,990 --> 00:00:28,398 you're going to basically select an interface, 10 00:00:28,384 --> 00:00:30,384 you're going to start or load a capture. 11 00:00:30,384 --> 00:00:33,060 And then from there, you're a, you know, 12 00:00:33,057 --> 00:00:35,692 you're going to start your capture window 13 00:00:35,695 --> 00:00:37,874 and you're going to see your 3 panes and 14 00:00:37,875 --> 00:00:40,054 be able to capture data. But with newer 15 00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:43,909 versions of Wireshark, the launchpad tier 16 00:00:43,904 --> 00:00:48,166 and it just helps you to do what's 17 00:00:48,169 --> 00:00:51,035 one of the most important things is select 18 00:00:51,035 --> 00:00:54,612 the correct interface which is confusing to some. 19 00:00:54,616 --> 00:00:58,201 Because as an example, if you're trying just 20 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,490 to capture wireless LAN data and you just, 21 00:01:00,494 --> 00:01:03,333 you know, ran a capture, you may not have 22 00:01:03,334 --> 00:01:05,445 selected the wireless LAN adapter, 23 00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:07,560 you may have selected the LAN adapter. 24 00:01:07,569 --> 00:01:11,458 Simple mistake, but this dashboard helps you 25 00:01:11,458 --> 00:01:16,053 to limit that as well as when you configure 26 00:01:16,052 --> 00:01:18,924 capture options like we were just saying before 27 00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:20,930 when we were answering questions 28 00:01:20,930 --> 00:01:24,225 you can set up a pre-capture rule. 29 00:01:24,225 --> 00:01:26,550 You can choose not to see all the traffic 30 00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:28,222 originating from your machine. 31 00:01:28,222 --> 00:01:31,308 You can limit the amount of data 32 00:01:31,317 --> 00:01:34,543 in the capture files. And there's a lot of things 33 00:01:34,537 --> 00:01:37,053 that you can do from this launch pad. 34 00:01:37,044 --> 00:01:38,631 You can also do this from the capture window, 35 00:01:38,631 --> 00:01:39,734 just makes it easier. 36 00:01:39,734 --> 00:01:45,723 And you can select currently viewed captures 37 00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:49,491 as well as, you know, getting help. 38 00:01:49,491 --> 00:01:52,662 So, the main interface capture window 39 00:01:52,662 --> 00:01:54,662 what we'd like to call, launch pad 40 00:01:54,662 --> 00:01:58,548 is basically, your navigation panes 41 00:01:58,548 --> 00:02:02,257 which is capture, files and online. 42 00:02:02,257 --> 00:02:06,136 And with these particularly, 43 00:02:06,136 --> 00:02:07,793 one of the things that we want to do, 44 00:02:07,793 --> 00:02:11,728 is we want to understand that in the 45 00:02:11,723 --> 00:02:15,157 capture section, we have an interface list, 46 00:02:15,161 --> 00:02:18,616 we can select what interface we want, 47 00:02:18,616 --> 00:02:21,651 we can hide interfaces we don't want to see, 48 00:02:21,651 --> 00:02:25,856 we can adjust specifically settings on 49 00:02:25,855 --> 00:02:28,145 those interfaces and capture options. 50 00:02:28,157 --> 00:02:30,660 We can check the health of them. 51 00:02:30,660 --> 00:02:32,660 We could see what IP addresses configured. 52 00:02:32,660 --> 00:02:36,026 We can set pre-capture filters, 53 00:02:36,026 --> 00:02:38,563 so that we can limit the amount of data 54 00:02:38,562 --> 00:02:40,791 we capture and, and more. 55 00:02:40,796 --> 00:02:43,369 In the file section basically if you're going to 56 00:02:43,367 --> 00:02:45,938 open a previously saved capture, 57 00:02:45,941 --> 00:02:47,913 and the sample captures, 58 00:02:47,918 --> 00:02:50,788 so, just a brief note on sample captures. 59 00:02:50,802 --> 00:02:55,223 So, this ties in to the online pane where you 60 00:02:55,226 --> 00:02:58,077 see the website user guide and so on. 61 00:02:58,066 --> 00:03:03,186 The Wireshark.org site is very robust. 62 00:03:03,186 --> 00:03:06,095 I like that it's actually very clean. 63 00:03:06,095 --> 00:03:09,052 It's not something overblown 64 00:03:09,052 --> 00:03:11,812 but it's a, it's got a ton of information. 65 00:03:11,812 --> 00:03:14,891 You'll see in future modules the, the 2 links 66 00:03:14,894 --> 00:03:17,961 directly to the website, so you can right click 67 00:03:17,965 --> 00:03:22,166 at some data in, that you've captured. 68 00:03:22,169 --> 00:03:23,865 and it'll take you directly to the website 69 00:03:23,865 --> 00:03:25,527 to help explain something. 70 00:03:25,527 --> 00:03:29,479 And it has a sample capture repository. 71 00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:30,923 It is not the only one. 72 00:03:30,923 --> 00:03:34,338 But it happens to be a large one and it's helpful 73 00:03:34,335 --> 00:03:36,452 to help round out exactly 74 00:03:36,451 --> 00:03:38,202 what it is that you're looking for. 75 00:03:38,202 --> 00:03:40,630 When you learn about protocols and or 76 00:03:40,651 --> 00:03:42,010 if you're capturing data that you may not 77 00:03:42,014 --> 00:03:44,587 understand, there's some sample captures up 78 00:03:44,587 --> 00:03:48,282 there to help show you how to, to find and 79 00:03:48,281 --> 00:03:50,111 translate this data and what it looks 80 00:03:50,106 --> 00:03:52,850 like when you capture it. 81 00:03:52,844 --> 00:03:57,098 So as we mentioned, 82 00:03:57,098 --> 00:03:58,851 you're going to select an interface. 83 00:03:58,851 --> 00:04:00,851 You're going to pick the one that's appropriate. 84 00:04:00,851 --> 00:04:03,615 You're going to either load or start a capture. 85 00:04:03,615 --> 00:04:06,540 And once you do, you're ready to go. 86 00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:09,179 And if you need help, 87 00:04:09,182 --> 00:04:11,386 that's a direct link to getting help. 88 00:04:11,388 --> 00:04:15,224 Once you start your interface capture, 89 00:04:15,224 --> 00:04:16,960 you're going to open up the capture window, 90 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,960 and you're going to see your 3 main panes. 91 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,647 We'll start with the packets list pane. 92 00:04:22,647 --> 00:04:24,407 We'll get more into detail into 93 00:04:24,407 --> 00:04:26,128 the other 2 panes as we go. 94 00:04:26,128 --> 00:04:28,936 But the most important one is the top pane, 95 00:04:28,926 --> 00:04:31,869 called the packets list pane where 96 00:04:31,869 --> 00:04:35,120 in that particular pane, you're going to see 97 00:04:35,119 --> 00:04:37,339 streaming data.
