Lab 2‐2 - connor0329/repository-1 GitHub Wiki

In this lab I used Wireshark to capture the source and destination MAC addresses for ICMP Ping request and response packets by pinging the Default Gateway IP Address and the New York Times website and surfing through the traffic in Wireshark. I also recorded my laptops MAC address and the MAC address of the Default Gateway Router Interface

-When pinging a network filter, "ICMP" to find the request and response packets -The MAC address source and destination can be found be clicking either the response or request packet and clicking the dropdown "Ethernet II"

-To capture traffic of a website start capturing traffic and then open said website -To find the IPv4 of a website filter, "DNS", and look for "Standard querry response" followed by the link the website of you pinged -Click on the DNS response with the website you pinged and click on the "DNS" drop down and then the "Answers" drop down

-To ping a website type, "ping www.whatever.com" -To find the source and destination MAC addresses of a website ping a website -After pinging a website find the ICMP ping request packet filter, "ICMP" then click on "Echo ping request" -Click on "Ethernet II"

What is a MAC address and what are its components?

A Mac address is a unique identifier assigned to a Network interface card (NIC) for communication on networks and has a 6-byte number that identifies the device manufacturer and the device

How to get a MAC address?

To get a MAC address ping a network or website, go on Wireshark, filter ICMP, look at response and request packets, and open up drop down "Ethernet II"

What is Wireshark and how to use it?

Wireshark captures network traffic and you can use it by selecting what network you want to capture traffic on and ping that network, ping websites on the network, open up websites and capture the IP, ect.

How to find a protocol in Wireshark?

To find a protocol in Wireshark simple look at the labeled columns at the top and look for the one that says protocols. You can click on it and it will sort by protocol or you can type in the search bar the specific protocol you are looking for
