00:00.060 --> 00:09.930
In this video, we are going to learn all the functions that are added in the main toolbar or menu bar.

00:10.320 --> 00:12.000
This is the main toolbar.

00:12.060 --> 00:18.300
It contains the functions that you are going to use on a regular basis.

00:18.390 --> 00:19.890
So let's get started.

00:20.100 --> 00:26.680
A red button from the left stops capturing backwards our Wireshark session.

00:26.700 --> 00:27.990
So let me click on it.

00:28.500 --> 00:35.940
And the first button allows you to start capturing packets or a new Wireshark session.

00:36.060 --> 00:36.870
Click on it.

00:36.870 --> 00:45.900
As you can see, a white shark is asking me to see the already captured packets before starting a new

00:45.900 --> 00:46.360
session.

00:46.380 --> 00:49.290
So click on See Now Down Here, right?

00:49.290 --> 00:50.200
The file name.

00:51.600 --> 00:53.170
Click on Save.

00:53.460 --> 00:58.050
As you can see, Wireshark has started a new session.

00:58.110 --> 01:06.810
Right now, next function that we have is restart current, capturing it, basically terminate the current

01:06.870 --> 01:10.200
session and start a new session.

01:10.260 --> 01:11.670
So let me click on it.

01:12.270 --> 01:16.770
And this time I'm going to click on Continue Without Saving.

01:17.310 --> 01:20.820
Then we have captured options.

01:21.270 --> 01:28.110
Capture options can't be used when you have a wireshark session running.

01:28.200 --> 01:28.560
Right.

01:28.560 --> 01:31.140
So let me stop it now, as you can see.

01:31.440 --> 01:33.990
Capture options has been enabled.

01:34.320 --> 01:35.130
Click on it.

01:35.250 --> 01:44.070
Capture options displays you all the installed network interface card just like you would welcome a

01:44.070 --> 01:44.640
window.

01:44.940 --> 01:52.050
The difference is that capture options gives us a much better control over interfaces.

01:52.410 --> 01:56.040
We have a dedicated video for Capture Options.

01:56.130 --> 01:57.930
For now, click on Close.

01:58.200 --> 02:04.020
Next, two buttons are open a capture file and save this capture file.

02:04.320 --> 02:11.100
We have already covered these two buttons in the second lecture of this section.

02:11.190 --> 02:14.450
Right then we have closed a button.

02:14.460 --> 02:20.970
It basically closes the current file and takes you back to the welcome window.

02:21.000 --> 02:23.450
Continue without saving, as you can see.

02:23.910 --> 02:28.560
Next function that we have is a reload this file.

02:28.770 --> 02:32.880
It basically reloads or refreshes your file.

02:33.150 --> 02:36.750
Then we have find a packet, a click on it.

02:37.260 --> 02:45.680
This function allows us to find or search the packets with different parameters.

02:45.690 --> 02:47.880
So click on this dropdown.

02:48.180 --> 02:52.590
We can use display filter, hex value string and a regular expression.

02:52.650 --> 02:52.990
Right?

02:53.400 --> 02:58.650
We haven't covered display filters and regular expression yet.

02:59.010 --> 03:06.210
You will automatically learn to use these to when you will complete the filters section.

03:06.480 --> 03:09.840
So let me show you how to use string and hex value.

03:09.960 --> 03:11.230
So click on the string.

03:11.350 --> 03:13.740
String basically means Dexter.

03:13.980 --> 03:24.590
So in the search box, type the string that you want to search for, let me search for Letty d c ied.

03:24.600 --> 03:31.470
As you can see down here, back at number eight does contain the text DC IED.

03:31.470 --> 03:31.800
Right.

03:31.800 --> 03:39.060
So what Wireshark is going to do, it will highlight or take you to the packet that contains whatever

03:39.090 --> 03:42.610
string you write here in the search box.

03:42.630 --> 03:45.450
So click on Find or Press Enter.

03:45.720 --> 03:50.970
As you can see, Wireshark is highlighting the packet that contained a DCI ID.

03:51.300 --> 04:00.150
And if you click on Find Again now it is showing the next packet that contains the DCI, right?

04:00.420 --> 04:05.460
In the same way you can use hex values, so click on it.

04:05.790 --> 04:08.490
Now you have to write a hex value.

04:08.550 --> 04:10.890
Let me type, let me 70.

04:11.040 --> 04:16.560
To be honest, I guess you are not going to use this feature that often.

04:16.620 --> 04:16.980
Right?

04:17.220 --> 04:18.540
So let me click on find.

04:18.570 --> 04:26.820
Now, as you can see, Wireshark is highlighting the packet that contained the value seven D right in

04:26.820 --> 04:28.920
the packet about section.

04:28.920 --> 04:32.730
It is highlighting the value seven D as you can see.

04:32.850 --> 04:39.330
Now moving on then we have left and right arrow buttons.

04:39.720 --> 04:46.600
Left Arrow Button basically takes you one place up from its current position.

04:46.600 --> 04:51.240
And as you can see right now, my current position is back at number 17.

04:51.540 --> 04:59.370
So if I click on the left arrow, as you can see, it takes me one packet up and right arrow button.

04:59.570 --> 05:01.820
Takes me one, back it down.

05:02.090 --> 05:05.240
Then we have go to a specific packet.

05:05.320 --> 05:08.060
So click on it in the box.

05:08.240 --> 05:09.950
Type the package number.

05:09.980 --> 05:12.410
Let's see, three, five.

05:12.530 --> 05:16.070
Now click on go to packet or press enter.

05:16.220 --> 05:25.220
As you can see now, packet number 35 is highlighted because this is what we type in the go to a specific

05:25.220 --> 05:25.760
box.

05:26.000 --> 05:31.950
Alright, so whatever packet you want to go to write the packet number here.

05:32.060 --> 05:34.970
Then you can click on go to the packet.

05:35.300 --> 05:39.860
Next two buttons are down A2 and up A2 up.

05:39.860 --> 05:49.490
A2 takes you to the first packet in the list and down arrow takes you to the last packet in the list,

05:49.490 --> 05:50.330
as you can see.

05:50.660 --> 05:57.860
And then we have automatically scroll to the last packet during live captured.

05:58.130 --> 06:05.540
When you have this button enabled, it basically highlights or you can see automatically scroll to the

06:05.810 --> 06:11.060
last packet that Wireshark captures during a live session.

06:11.330 --> 06:13.610
By default, this button is enabled.

06:13.610 --> 06:18.170
As you can see, it has this light a blue background colour, right?

06:18.200 --> 06:20.900
It means it is enabled if you click on it.

06:21.110 --> 06:23.570
As you can see now, it has been disabled.

06:23.900 --> 06:26.270
I'm going to enable it back now.

06:26.300 --> 06:32.090
Next function that we have is draw back using colouring rules.

06:32.480 --> 06:36.230
We have packets with different colours, right?

06:36.590 --> 06:42.380
These colours help us to identify the types of traffic.

06:42.440 --> 06:50.300
As you can see, DHCP packets have grey background colour and ICMP packets have a different colour.

06:50.450 --> 06:50.840
Right.

06:51.140 --> 07:00.140
So what charter does by default it assigns a unique colour to most common network traffic.

07:00.320 --> 07:00.670
Right.

07:00.680 --> 07:06.470
It helps us to easily identify the traffic or packets.

07:06.800 --> 07:15.440
So if you want to know which colour is associated with which traffic, then go to the view.

07:15.950 --> 07:17.300
Click on colouring rules.

07:17.600 --> 07:23.660
As you can see here, we have a complete a list of colorized traffic.

07:24.140 --> 07:28.370
UDP packets have a light and blue background color.

07:28.430 --> 07:36.710
DHCP packets have a grey background colour and DHCP reset packets have a red background colour.

07:36.710 --> 07:37.040
Right.

07:37.250 --> 07:43.160
We can actually modify and add our own colouring rules in the list.

07:43.280 --> 07:43.640
Okay.

07:43.640 --> 07:50.460
We will learn how to colorize the traffic in a dedicated video right now.

07:50.480 --> 07:58.460
Let's say you want to change the background colour of our traffic, so click on it.

07:58.640 --> 08:04.820
Now down here, click on the background colour from here, select the colour, then click on.

08:04.820 --> 08:05.330
Okay.

08:05.660 --> 08:12.500
In the same way you can change the background colour of text or fonts, all you have to do click on

08:12.500 --> 08:13.190
foreground.

08:13.340 --> 08:17.030
Then from here select the colour, click on okay.

08:17.360 --> 08:22.470
Then it will change your foreground colours as well to apply changes.

08:22.490 --> 08:23.520
Click on okay.

08:23.840 --> 08:29.090
If you click on the button then it will remove the packet colorization.

08:29.090 --> 08:32.990
Right now all the packets are looking.

08:33.020 --> 08:33.430
See?

08:33.590 --> 08:33.980
Right.

08:34.280 --> 08:34.610
Okay.

08:34.610 --> 08:39.110
I'm going to enable it back because it is immensely helpful.

08:39.110 --> 08:47.360
The next two buttons are plus and minus plus button basically increases the font size as you can see,

08:47.360 --> 08:57.680
and minus button decreases the font size and a button next to minus set the font size to a default.

08:57.770 --> 08:58.910
So let me click on it.

08:58.910 --> 09:07.670
As you can see now, last function in the main toolbar is resize back it at least columns to fit the

09:07.670 --> 09:09.260
contents can trace.

09:09.470 --> 09:16.130
The destination column is overlapping the information of source column, right?

09:16.130 --> 09:23.570
So when you click on this button, as you can see, the content of each column is being displayed properly.

09:23.570 --> 09:27.260
Right now, the columns are not overlapping each other.
