PART A
(PART A : TO BE REFFERED BY STUDENTS)
Experiment No.05
A.1 Aim: Design a network and implement packet sniffing on telnet traffic using
wireshark.
A.2 Prerequisite:
1. Basic Knowledge of IP addresses, Port numbers, TCP and UDP Protocols.
A.3 Outcome:
After successful completion of this experiment students will be able to
A.4 Theory:
Wireshark, a network analysis tool formerly known as Ethereal, captures packets in real time and
display them in human-readable format. Wireshark includes filters, color-coding and other
features
that let you dig deep into network traffic and inspect individual packets.
Features of Wireshark :
• Available for UNIX and Windows.
• Capture live packet data from a network interface.
• Open files containing packet data captured with tcpdump/WinDump, Wireshark, and a
number of other packet capture programs.
• Import packets from text files containing hex dumps of packet data.
• Display packets with very detailed protocol information.
• Export some or all packets in a number of capture file formats.
• Filter packets on many criteria.
• Search for packets on many criteria.
• Colorize packet display based on filters.
• Create various statistics.
Capturing Packets
After downloading and installing wireshark, you can launch it and click the name of an interface
under Interface List to start capturing packets on that interface. For example, if you want to
capture
traffic on the wireless network, click your wireless interface. You can configure advanced
features
by clicking Capture Options.
Filtering Packets
If you‘re trying to inspect something specific, such as the traffic a program sends when phoning
home, it helps to close down all other applications using the network so you can narrow down
the traffic. Still, you‘ll likely have a large amount of packets to sift through. That‘s where
Wireshark‘s filters come in. The most basic way to apply a filter is by typing it into the filter box
at the top of the window and clicking Apply (or pressing Enter). For example, type ―dns‖ and
you‘ll see only DNS packets. When you start typing, Wireshark will help you autocomplete your
filter.

soft copy must be uploaded on the Blackboard or emailed to the concerned lab in charge faculties at
the end of the practical in case the there is no Black board access available)
