How to do it…

In the following steps, we utilize a Python library named PyShark, along with Wireshark, to capture and examine network traffic.

  1. You must add tshark to PyShark's configuration path. Tshark is a command-line variant of Wireshark. To do this, run the following command:
pip show pyshark

Note the location of the package. In the pyshark directory in this location, find the file, config.ini. Edit tshark_path to the location of tshark inside your wireshark installation folder. Similarly, edit dumpcap_path to the location of dumpcap inside your wireshark installation folder.

Steps 2 and 4 should be executed in a Python environment. Note that, as of the current version, pyshark may have some bugs when run in a Jupyter notebook.
