About Wireshark?

Wireshark is a widely-used, free, and open-source packet analyzer designed for various network-related purposes such as troubleshooting, analysis, software development, and education. One of its key capabilities is the ability to place network interface controllers that support promiscuous mode into that mode, therefore allowing users to observe all traffic visible on the interface, not just the traffic addressed to specific interface configured addresses and broadcast/multicast traffic. It's important to note that on some platforms, capturing raw network traffic from an interface may require elevated privileges.
