ip address tracking procedure step by step by wireshark

By

 

Wireshark is a popular network protocol analyzer that can be used to capture and analyze network traffic, including IP addresses. Here's a step-by-step procedure to track IP addresses using Wireshark:

Step 1:

  Download and Install Wireshark

Go to the Wireshark website (https://www.wireshark.org/) and download the appropriate version for your operating system.

Install Wireshark on your computer following the installation wizard.

Step 2:

 Launch Wireshark

After installation, launch Wireshark. Depending on your operating system, you may need administrative privileges to capture network traffic.

Step 3:  

Select the Network Interface

Wireshark will display a list of available network interfaces. Choose the network interface that corresponds to your internet connection (e.g., Ethernet adapter, Wi-Fi adapter).

Step 4: Start Capturing Packets

Click on the selected network interface to begin capturing packets.

You will see real-time packet data scrolling through the Wireshark interface as network traffic is captured.

Step 5:  

Filter for IP Addresses

To filter for IP addresses, enter the following filter syntax in the filter bar (display filter):


css
ip.addr == desired-ip-address

ip.addr == desired-ip-address

Replace "desired-ip-address" with the IP address you want to track. For example, to track all packets associated with IP address 192.168.1.100, use the filter:



  • ip.addr == 192.168.1.100


ip.addr == 192.168.1.100

Step 6:  

Analyze Captured Packets

Wireshark will now display only packets that match the specified IP address filter.

Analyze the captured packets to see the source and destination IP addresses, protocols used, and other relevant information.

Step 7: 

Stop Packet Capture

When you have gathered the information you need, stop the packet capture by clicking on the "Stop" button in Wireshark.

     Using Wireshark to track IP addresses can be a useful tool for network troubleshooting, security analysis, and understanding the flow of network traffic. However, please be aware that capturing network traffic, including IP addresses, may raise privacy and legal concerns. Always ensure you have proper authorization and adhere to applicable laws and regulations when capturing and analyzing network traffic.
