1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,755 2 00:00:08,755 --> 00:00:12,184 In our next module, we will discuss navigation. 3 00:00:12,192 --> 00:00:18,766 Navigation is key to working effectively and efficiently with Wireshark. 4 00:00:18,766 --> 00:00:23,332 Being able to navigate the interface is critically important. 5 00:00:23,332 --> 00:00:29,699 Being able to open, start a capture. We talked briefly about this yesterday. 6 00:00:29,699 --> 00:00:35,727 when we did, when we're talking about setting up profiles and adjusting preferences. 7 00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:40,884 But once you have all those stuff adjusted and you're able to start your capture, 8 00:00:40,884 --> 00:00:44,826 once you have captured data, exactly what you're going to do with it 9 00:00:44,842 --> 00:00:49,478 which is what we'll learn in all the rest of the modules - use the tools. 10 00:00:49,476 --> 00:00:52,999 To be able to do that you have to know how to navigate the interface. 11 00:00:52,999 --> 00:00:56,164 So in this module, we're going to talk specifically 12 00:00:56,164 --> 00:01:00,365 about how to get through the interface. 13 00:01:00,365 --> 00:01:05,191 Alright, so with Wireshark, navigating a Wireshark interface 14 00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:09,374 you will be able to quickly navigate through the tool, 15 00:01:09,374 --> 00:01:13,661 and find, use, and work with captured data. 16 00:01:13,661 --> 00:01:18,482 So we talked yesterday, yesterday about the launch pad or the start page - 17 00:01:18,482 --> 00:01:23,156 where you can begin your capture, select the interface, 18 00:01:23,156 --> 00:01:27,764 set up capture options, pre-capture filters, 19 00:01:27,764 --> 00:01:32,858 saving options so it will chop the data up into multiple files, 20 00:01:32,858 --> 00:01:34,858 so it's not one big capture. 21 00:01:34,858 --> 00:01:41,231 But once you actually start the capture, you're going to open up into the capture window. 22 00:01:41,231 --> 00:01:46,938 So with the capture window, one of the things that you're going to start off with is 23 00:01:46,938 --> 00:01:52,561 the file menu, and each one of these menu options here as you see 24 00:01:52,561 --> 00:01:58,053 will give you most of what it is that you need to get to within Wireshark. 25 00:01:58,061 --> 00:02:01,427 So just really quickly, the file menu is 26 00:02:01,422 --> 00:02:05,863 responsible for opening and closing your captures. 27 00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:11,356 You can save them. We have one module on how to save them 'cause 28 00:02:11,356 --> 00:02:13,165 there's so many different formats and things that 29 00:02:13,171 --> 00:02:16,055 you need to learn about the saving of the captures. 30 00:02:16,055 --> 00:02:19,138 You can review if this was a file set. 31 00:02:19,138 --> 00:02:23,873 If we chop the files up, we could save them 32 00:02:23,866 --> 00:02:27,292 in multiple files and you could browse through them. 33 00:02:27,294 --> 00:02:31,122 You could see them in the list of files. 34 00:02:31,122 --> 00:02:33,122 We will learn about exporting. 35 00:02:33,122 --> 00:02:36,579 You can export objects. This is helpful when you want 36 00:02:36,572 --> 00:02:41,901 to see the TCP objects as we just learned 37 00:02:41,916 --> 00:02:49,346 about this HTTP capture, this is helpful to give you a view into specifics. 38 00:02:49,346 --> 00:02:53,842 Let's say, we wanted to see the size or we wanted to see 39 00:02:53,843 --> 00:02:58,263 what packets map to what objects. 40 00:02:58,253 --> 00:03:04,440 We can print, print packets and or quit the program. 41 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,961 The edit file menu - you can use this to find specific packets. 42 00:03:10,961 --> 00:03:13,620 We will look at that momentarily. 43 00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:18,267 You can mark and annotate packets which we'll look at in a separate module. 44 00:03:18,267 --> 00:03:23,173 This is important for, if you wanted to 45 00:03:23,173 --> 00:03:27,076 for example, make reference to what this is. 46 00:03:27,076 --> 00:03:32,573 You can now with Pcap-ng file formats. 47 00:03:32,573 --> 00:03:34,939 You can save specific things. 48 00:03:34,940 --> 00:03:47,316 And annotate, you know, the entire file and or, sorry, hit the wrong thing. 49 00:03:47,316 --> 00:03:51,423 So you can specifically save data in the comments. 50 00:03:51,423 --> 00:03:55,541 So there's a lot of things that you can do to edit the file itself. 51 00:03:55,541 --> 00:04:01,548 You can switch through and change your preferences or adjust your profiles. 52 00:04:01,548 --> 00:04:03,548 You can also select it down here. 53 00:04:03,548 --> 00:04:15,036 In the view menu, you can adjust and select which toolbars you'd like to see. 54 00:04:15,036 --> 00:04:19,349 So for example, if we do not want to see wireless setting, 55 00:04:19,353 --> 00:04:21,492 things we can adjsut, we can turn it off. 56 00:04:21,495 --> 00:04:28,149 We can turn it on. There's a lot of things that are available to you in the interface 57 00:04:28,158 --> 00:04:31,568 so you're able to turn them off and on here. 58 00:04:31,568 --> 00:04:36,619 What we just learned about was adjusting the time. 59 00:04:36,619 --> 00:04:41,998 So you can change the time format. 60 00:04:41,998 --> 00:04:45,137 You can turn on and off name resolution. 61 00:04:45,137 --> 00:04:49,943 You can also adjust that in your preferences to do that every single time. 62 00:04:49,943 --> 00:04:53,792 You can adjust the zooming so I actually zoomed 63 00:04:53,784 --> 00:04:56,475 in here so that you could see things easier. 64 00:04:56,475 --> 00:05:04,208 And you can also zoom out. You can readjust it to normal size. 65 00:05:04,208 --> 00:05:07,199 You can resize your columns so as an example, 66 00:05:07,194 --> 00:05:11,621 if you're adjusting this you can quickly resize them. 67 00:05:11,628 --> 00:05:17,422 You can display columns. In preferences, you can add more columns. 68 00:05:17,422 --> 00:05:21,113 Here, you can take away or add columns at will. 69 00:05:21,113 --> 00:05:23,808 You can also move them very easily, if needed. 70 00:05:23,808 --> 00:05:29,251 If you want to adjust something, you can just move the column. 71 00:05:29,251 --> 00:05:36,080 You can get to your coloring rules which we briefly talked about 72 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,699 to change specifics in the capture. 73 00:05:39,699 --> 00:05:46,367 How things are viewed - you can completely reload the capture, reload the interface. 74 00:05:46,367 --> 00:05:54,532 What we'd like to talk about next is the go menu and specifically, 75 00:05:54,538 --> 00:05:58,027 when you move around the actual capture, 76 00:05:58,034 --> 00:06:01,288 you can use the go menu to help navigate the data. 77 00:06:01,305 --> 00:06:04,961 So it's actually pretty simplistic in nature but 78 00:06:04,961 --> 00:06:11,632 this toolbar will allow you to essentially move through the packets. 79 00:06:11,641 --> 00:06:14,221 You can go to the next packet and move through the, 80 00:06:14,221 --> 00:06:16,095 obviously you can scroll through. 81 00:06:16,095 --> 00:06:19,741 But this provides you a quick way to navigate. 82 00:06:19,741 --> 00:06:21,988 One of the more helpful ones is at the end. 83 00:06:21,978 --> 00:06:26,124 You can go to a, the beginning or the end of the capture. 84 00:06:26,124 --> 00:06:28,124 So we'll show you that. 85 00:06:28,124 --> 00:06:35,133 So if you wanted to get to the beginning of the capture 86 00:06:35,133 --> 00:06:38,892 and or if you wanted to get to the end of the capture. 87 00:06:38,892 --> 00:06:42,612 So, there's different ways to navigate. 88 00:06:42,612 --> 00:06:45,471 Through the capture itself, you can move through it 89 00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:49,544 or you can go to the beginning or the end but 90 00:06:49,544 --> 00:06:56,496 regardless, this tool will allow you to navigate the capture itself pretty quickly and easily. 91 00:06:56,496 --> 00:07:05,461 So, why would we want to navigate through these files? 92 00:07:05,471 --> 00:07:10,957 Well, one of the things here is I have a capture display here. 93 00:07:10,983 --> 00:07:14,420 Let me put this back up for you. 94 00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:17,497 I put a, let me clear and I'll show you. 95 00:07:17,497 --> 00:07:22,496 But if you wanted to specifically get to the beginning of a HTTP conversation, 96 00:07:22,496 --> 00:07:27,036 instead of scrolling all around this large capture, and this isn't really a large one, 97 00:07:27,036 --> 00:07:31,978 we only have about a, maybe a few hundred packets. 98 00:07:31,978 --> 00:07:35,959 I can get to the beginning of the capture, get to the end of the capture, 99 00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:39,758 and start navigating through the capture based on the filter that I applied. 100 00:07:39,758 --> 00:07:46,882 So that could be very helpful to you if that's a, if, if you find out that it's quicker and easier 101 00:07:46,882 --> 00:07:48,882 to get you around the capture. 102 00:07:48,882 --> 00:07:56,571 So other navigation features, obviously we started going through the file menus. 103 00:07:56,571 --> 00:08:01,674 That's one thing where everything that you need, 104 00:08:01,674 --> 00:08:04,835 could be found primarily within the menu options. 105 00:08:04,835 --> 00:08:09,530 So as we go through and learn about the tools, we get more into the statistics menu. 106 00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:12,478 Touch on a lot of the tools in there. 107 00:08:12,478 --> 00:08:16,722 There's specific telephony and or if you're troubleshooting voice. 108 00:08:16,722 --> 00:08:18,722 There's a whole menu system for that. 109 00:08:18,722 --> 00:08:22,398 But get comfortable with navigating the menu system 110 00:08:22,398 --> 00:08:25,237 'cause it's really going to give you a bird's eyeview into what 111 00:08:25,237 --> 00:08:27,140 Wireshark has to offer. 112 00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:29,527 And again, don't forget about the main interface. 113 00:08:29,527 --> 00:08:34,857 The main interface will provide you with a lot of different options 114 00:08:34,857 --> 00:08:40,412 that we already started going through, as we mentioned you can navigate through it. 115 00:08:40,412 --> 00:08:49,619 You have some capture stuff in here where you can select your interfaces. 116 00:08:49,621 --> 00:08:54,168 This is the same as if you were in the launch pad. 117 00:08:54,168 --> 00:09:00,195 Do you want to change interfaces. You can change options on the interface. 118 00:09:00,195 --> 00:09:02,730 Again, this was off the main launch pad 119 00:09:02,730 --> 00:09:08,348 but you can see specifically which interface was used to run the capture. 120 00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:15,873 You can start and stop the capture. 121 00:09:15,873 --> 00:09:19,109 Obviously, if you've already started one, it will ask you to save it. 122 00:09:19,109 --> 00:09:23,457 We recommend that if you're saving captures, obviously 123 00:09:23,466 --> 00:09:26,876 you will want to find a spot on your hard drive. 124 00:09:26,896 --> 00:09:30,578 Don't you stamp them into documents, maybe create a capture folder. 125 00:09:30,578 --> 00:09:34,336 But to start and stop captures, you will have to save it. 126 00:09:34,336 --> 00:09:38,136 You can set some pre-defined capture filters. 127 00:09:38,136 --> 00:09:42,869 This is for the next capture. Obviously, we can apply capture filter 2. 128 00:09:42,869 --> 00:09:48,783 ARD capture, already established capture, we can apply a display filter to it. 129 00:09:48,783 --> 00:09:53,033 And again, we can refresh the interfaces. 130 00:09:53,033 --> 00:09:55,820 In analyze, we can look at display filters. 131 00:09:55,820 --> 00:10:01,447 We can set up macros and we can file the TCP stream. 132 00:10:01,447 --> 00:10:04,649 For example, if we have a conversation here as we can see, 133 00:10:04,652 --> 00:10:07,030 we can see the whole conversation in the stream. 134 00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:11,975 So we can get through that. One of the tips to navigating 135 00:10:11,975 --> 00:10:18,333 is we have a right click context menu for the packets list and the details pane. 136 00:10:18,333 --> 00:10:21,082 So if you wanted to see some specific information 137 00:10:21,107 --> 00:10:24,107 you wanted to see this conversation in particular, 138 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:31,231 you can file the TCP stream there. It will apply this conversation filter directly in. 139 00:10:31,231 --> 00:10:37,067 And then you can see specifically the stream for that conversation. 140 00:10:37,067 --> 00:10:46,672 So, that's what you can get from the analyze. 141 00:10:46,672 --> 00:10:50,658 You can also view the Expert. We will get directly into the Expert in more depth 142 00:10:50,658 --> 00:10:55,454 but the Expert is a, I like to call it a clue system. 143 00:10:55,454 --> 00:11:00,222 It will give you some specific information so as an example here, 144 00:11:00,222 --> 00:11:04,766 we had some out of order segments. If we were interested in figuring that out, 145 00:11:04,766 --> 00:11:08,657 we can click on that and it will take us directly to the numbered packet. 146 00:11:08,657 --> 00:11:14,095 So in this example, it's showing in the summary that it was packet 141. 147 00:11:14,095 --> 00:11:18,592 We were able to double click on that and it was able to take us to packet 141. 148 00:11:18,592 --> 00:11:23,663 Then we can drill down into the details of that specific data 149 00:11:23,664 --> 00:11:26,929 and look at what the Expert flagged. 150 00:11:26,929 --> 00:11:32,798 So again, this is just learning how to navigate the system 151 00:11:32,798 --> 00:11:36,581 so that when we start getting into the, the more granular detail, 152 00:11:36,581 --> 00:11:42,505 we'll understand how to move around Wireshark and where things are located. 153 00:11:42,505 --> 00:11:48,224 So we have a lot of drop-down menus. 154 00:11:48,224 --> 00:11:53,304 We have pane navigation, right click context menus. 155 00:11:53,298 --> 00:11:56,498 The toolbars, in particular, we started looking at them. 156 00:11:56,498 --> 00:11:57,820 You can turn them on and off. 157 00:11:57,820 --> 00:12:02,070 We can set up a filter through the filtering toolbar. 158 00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:04,278 So there's a lot of things in here that we can work 159 00:12:04,289 --> 00:12:06,929 with when it comes to navigating Wireshark. 160 00:12:06,932 --> 00:12:08,932 It's very user-friendly. 161 00:12:08,932 --> 00:12:14,926
