WireShark Lab - michael-D-S/NET-150 GitHub Wiki

Tech Journal: In this lab I inspected the ping packet with Wireshark to find the MAC addresses of my workstation and of the default gateway. in this lab using the ipconfig/all command will display information regarding you device and the network. command: ping can be used to ping different devic3es or websites using either the IP address or the website name.

MAC Address are Unique ID's that are associated with the NIC, for use in distinguishing an individual device on a network. You can get a MAC Address by pinging a device on the same LAN and inspecting the packets to get the MAC address. you can't do this without being on the same LAN as the other device. Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer that you can use to intercept and inspect network traffic. It is used by setting it to capture traffic and interacting with the network and then inspecting the result's of the capture. In Wireshark you can find a protocol by searching for in the top search bar in the program by its name such as the ICMP protocol just by typing icmp into the search will filter put everything but the searched results.
