Task-7: Wireshark - Fishing for HTTP Packets!

[RickyTheDude]

Task: Capture Live Network Traffic Using Wireshark

📌 Objective:
Capture live network traffic using Wireshark, save the captured packets as a .pcap file, and apply a filter to display only HTTP packets.

🎯 Submission Format:

• Submit the screenshot of the Wireshark interface showing the filtered HTTP packets.

🚨 Privacy Note:
Ensure that no personal or sensitive information (such as passwords or tokens) is visible in the captured traffic. Capture traffic in a safe, ethical environment (e.g., your local network).

 
✨ Bonus Tip:
You can experiment with other filters like ip.addr == <IP_ADDRESS> to capture traffic from a specific IP or tcp.port == 80 to filter HTTP traffic on port 80.
 

Happy packet capturing! 😊
