Read moreI just have started a new You Tube channel about Wireshark and packet analysis. Open the post to follow the link.
Read moreIn this tip I will show you how you can easily create a name resolution for an ip address and store it inside a pacing file.
Read moreAs I have already posted on twittert I found some questions inside the SACKED.pcapng file.
The Questions are:
Why is #2945 right or wrong and can we really answer this?
And what is strange with packet #2280?
Would be glad to here your opinion about this.

Read moreSometimes it can happen that the startup of Wireshark is really slow (I have spotted this on windows. At least I cannot remember that I have seen this on an other system, too). In most cases Wireshark has some issues to find the interfaces. Sometimes it takes more than 10 seconds This is really annoying to me as in most
Read moreAs promised in my first article about the profishark 1G+.
I am now presenting some test results about the capture performance of the Profishark 1G+.
Overview There are quite lot of Gigabit Taps on the market right now and they all work more or less the same way (see Why I like using a tap even behind a mirror port). But there is one different model series available (at least as far as I know) the ProfiShark Taps from Profitap. They are different because they
Read moreIPv4 – Basics – Part 1: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Today I will start a small series, which will cover some basic behaviour of the IPv4 protocol suite and is meant for reimagine and a little bit baselining. I will start the series with the Dynamic Host Confirguration Protocol (DHCP). History: In the Classless Inter Domain Routing (CIDR) environment
Read moreIn some cases it could be interesting, that I am able to limit my port speed. For example if I want to summarize my traffic on an uplink. It could be better to have the end devices configured with 100 MBit/s so that 10 end device can use a 1 GBit/s uplink without any problems. So a way to archive
Read moreA few days ago I have read an answer about the Maximum Segment Size (MSS) at the Wireshark Q&A site.
The answer had shacked me up a little bit, because the author wrote that the MSS is not negotiated. First I had thought that I missed something big in my understanding of the Maximum Segment Size (MSS). But after a dive into the world of the RFCs I realized that I have just misinterpreted /mistranslated the authors statement.
Read moreThis article is meant as an HowTo and it will show a way how the WLAN capabilties of different WLAN devices could be dermined in an practical way.
Read moreSome small issues in the actual Wireshark2.0rc1 image, had been reported. So I provide the download of theold Version 1.99.9 here.
Read moreA normal day Today I wanted to investigate a phenomen with the Wireshark 2.0rc1 at MacOSX. For that kind of reason I started a local trace on my MacOS. So I did not expect to see any strange traffic due to the point of tracing. But in fact I saw more strange things than I had expected. I saw some
Read moreThis article describes what benefit you gain, if you attach a TAP behind a “Mirror Port”.
Read moreThe IP ID Field Today I want to tell something about the Identification Field of the IP Header often called the IP ID, it is a longer post than I have mentioned. I have posted a lot of RFC stuff here which you don´t need to read, because I will summarize it in this post. But I wanted to have
Read moreToday I have updated my knowledge about the Addresss Resolution Protocol and I figured out some interesting things about Gratious ARP behaviour, which I want to share with you.
Read moreThe number of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) which are using HTTP as the application protocol is still growing up. And each single website of these applications has often a complex dynamical content. So the “End User Experience View” is getting more and more important, because for the above mentioned reasons it is not easy to realize if the whole content has been loaded with nothing more then a trace file and no deeper knowledge of the application.
Read moreStrange Packet discards In the last time I encountered to a strange problem. The following components have been involved: Win2008 R2 servers with VMXNET3 Adapters. Used VMware configuration vCenter Server 5.1.0a ESXi 5.1 Patch 1 Looking at “netstat -e” shows the following strange output. The discard counters for for send and receive side were growing and had also the same
Read moreShort WLAN history Have you ever wondered why different WLAN devices which are each compatible with the 802.11ac standard support nevertheless different data rates. Well I wrote this article to give an answer to this question. To do this it is the best to start with the beginning of WLANs. The beginning of WLAN technology A WLAN is an IEEE
