Wireshark is a tool used to visualize network issues. It is well documented with the Official Documentation, the manpages, and the Wireshark Forums, among others. In addition to a GUI version, Wireshark comes with many command-line utilities like tshark. This guide explores packet analysis using these tools. Examples and direction are provided as well as pitfalls to avoid.
