For example, the user can set blue for TCP and red for UDP traffic. Another key advantage of Wireshark is the distinction of different type of traffics by using different colors. The amount of traffic captured can be modified/abstracted by applying display filters and can be exported in different file formats such as Text, CSV, XML or Postscript. The main advanced service that it offers, is the execution of a “Scan” in order to view the captured packets on screen.

Airtool packet captures full#
A full packet is made up of two things: a payload and a header. The first one is by capturing the whole packet and the second is by capturing specific portions of a packet. Packet capture is generally performed via two methods. The reason for capturing and examining network packets, is chiefly for identification of security threats, undesirable network behaviors, network congestions, packet loss and network analysis. These kind of packets are captured using appropriate tools in real time which are stored for a short stint in order to be analyzed, downloaded, archived or discarded. “Packet Capture” is defined as network interception of a data packet that is traversing a specific point through a data network.
