Like molecules, they’re invisible to the naked eye, which is why network admins and developers turn to the internet version of microscopes - network protocol analyzers - for troubleshooting purposes. Much in the same way that matter is made up of tiny atoms that form molecules, information travels the internet in the small blocks of data we know as network packets. With SharkFest, Wireshark’s ongoing series of annual educational conferences, user communities now have additional opportunities to refine their packet analysis skills while evolving the tool to ensure relevance for generations to come. The open-source software includes a rich feature set thanks to continuous development from a dedicated group of users across the globe. Currently, it takes a lot of manpower to analyze and dissect all the data.TL DR: Wireshark, a widely used network protocol analyzer, has enabled developers and system admins to capture packets and examine their contents for two decades. They can maybe build artificial intelligence into it. It is for technical people, and most of the technical people would be able to figure it out, but it would be good to improve its user interface. They can make its user interface a little bit more friendly. "Its user interface was a little less friendly.You will have to do some digging only if you have a very specific use case." If you have any trouble, it is pretty easy to find an answer online.

There is a lot of information out there on Google and YouTube about how to use it. It also gives you more visibility into your network. It allows you to see the network activity of the users you are investigating. Such a feature is pretty helpful for an ongoing forensic investigation or when there is a potential insider threat that you are trying to investigate.

Generally, you can use Omnipeek to capture packets. In my previous company, we had Omnipeek, and the UI was better than Wireshark.
