◉ Wireshark can be used in a variety of ways; however, the most
common configuration for Wireshark, and the configuration that you
ran in the lab, has the software running:
Answer: on a local host
◉ In the simplest terms, Wireshark is used to capture all packets:
Answer: to and from a computer workstation and the server.
◉ Which of the following statements is true regarding how
Wireshark works?
Answer: By running the Wireshark software on the same computer
that generates the packets, the capture is specific to that machine.
◉ Which of the following statements is true regarding how
Wireshark handles time?
Answer: Clock time may or may not be the same as the system time
of the device or devices used to run Wireshark and capture packets.
,◉ When examining a frame header, a difference between bytes on
the wire and bytes captured can indicate that:
Answer: partial or malformed packets might be captured.
◉ In the lab, the Ethernet II detail of the provided packet capture file
indicated that Wireshark had determined that the __________ was Intel
Core hardware.
Answer: source
◉ In the lab, the Ethernet II detail of the provided packet capture file
indicated that Wireshark had determined that the __________ was
Internet Protocol (IP).
Answer: type of traffic carried in the next layer
◉ In the lab, the Ethernet II detail of the provided packet capture file
indicated that Wireshark had determined that the __________ was IPv4
multicast.
Answer: destination
◉ The __________ IP address is the IP address of the local IP host
(workstation) from which Wireshark captures packets.
Answer: destination
, ◉ Which of the following statements is true regarding filtering
packets in Wireshark?
Answer: Filters allow a complex set of criteria to be applied to the
captured packets and only the result is displayed.
◉ Selecting a TCP flow in the Flow Graph Analysis tool tells
Wireshark that you wanted to see all of the elements in a TCP three-
way handshake, which are:
Answer: SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK.
◉ In the center pane of the __________, the direction of each arrow
indicates the direction of the TCP traffic, and the length of the arrow
indicates between which two addresses the interaction is taking
place.
Answer: Flow Graph Analysis results
◉ Within the frame detail pane, what does it mean when the DNS
Flags detail specifies that recursion is desired?
Answer: DNS will continue to query higher level DNSs until it is able
to resolve the address.
◉ Within the frame detail pane, the DNS Flags detail response to the
query for issaseries.org was "No such name," indicating that the:
Answer: issaseries.org is not known to any of the Domain Name
Servers that were searched.
