Summary

In this chapter, you've learned a number of skills in Wireshark, including what's new in Wireshark 2, and there are some features from 1.8 that I mentioned, namely, how to capture traffic on a local Wireshark installation; how to get the packets to your Wireshark installation through different means, such as SPAN ports; saving and exporting these packets in different ways; annotating or adding comments to the packet captures and inpidual packets, and printing them, or selections of them; and lastly, setting up the remote packet capture with WinPcap on a remote Windows system, and using that packet capture from the remote system to a local Wireshark installation.

In Chapter 3, Filtering Traffic, we'll go over the various ways of filtering traffic, both with the capture filters, as well as display filters, and also look at additional ways of filtering things.
