3. Traffic Pattern Visualization:
Wireshark provides graphical features like packet flow graphs and IO graphs to visualize network traffic patterns. These tools help identify bandwidth utilization and latency.
4. Anomaly Detection:
Identify irregular patterns or potential threats within network traffic. Wireshark’s expert analysis tools are invaluable for detecting network issues.
5. Exporting Analysis Results:
Upon completing your analysis, export findings in various formats, such as CSV or JSON, for further examination, reporting, or integration with other tools.
