Project 9: Using Wireshark to filter and analyze data packets

Using a VM provided by Google's cybersecurity course, I experience my first taste in Wireshark analyzing data packets

To get familar with wireshark, I used a virtual machine provided by Google.

I opened the 'sample' file provided to me

Then, I start using filters to narrow down my search, starting with ip addresses, using the filter 'ip.addr == 142.250.1.139'

I viewed the data packet numbered '64' and got familar with how Wireshark works by looking into the 'frame', 'Ethernet',' IPV4', and 'TCP' windows

Then I did the same thing by filtering MAC addresses ('eth.addr == 42:01:ac:15:e0:02'), UDP ports ('udp.port == 53'), and finally TCP ports('tcp.port == 80')

MAC addresses:

UDP ports:

TCP ports:

That concludes my first experience with Wireshark. I hope to be more knowledgeable about packet analyzers in the near future because those will be an important tool in my growing Cybersecurity skillset.
