Packet sniffers like Wireshark can be used for a variety of purposes both good. It can be used to log data traveling over a variety of network types (cable, wireless) and, provided that the content of the data packets is unencrypted, display that data in real time. Wireshark is a computer program that can intercept, log and display the traffic passing over a digital network (or part of a network). Wireshark is a network packet analyzer (also known as a packet sniffer).
