These are our Wireshark Profiles in ZIP format. Import these to your Wireshark installation. Wireshark Profiles are critically important because they allow users to preserve, reuse, and rapidly switch between purpose-built analysis environments without reconfiguring the tool each time. For anyone doing repeatable packet analysis—especially across different protocols, customers, or troubleshooting scenarios—profiles transform Wireshark from a generic packet viewer into a disciplined analytical instrument.
Post Views: 11 The Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) Wireshark Profile is designed to make CDP traffic faster and easier to analyze. Rather than manually building filters and columns each time you open a capture, this profile provides a ready-to-use workspace focused on Cisco device discovery, neighbor identification, interface information, platform details, software versions, device capabilities, […]

Post Views: 74 This is our OSPF Profile for Wireshark. If you work with OSPF and you do packet capture for troubleshooting, you need this profile. See OSPF Clearly This OSPF Wireshark Profile transforms a busy packet capture into a focused routing-analysis workspace. With purpose-built filters, columns, and views for Hello packets, neighbor formation, DR/BDR

Post Views: 258 As discussed in my Net Neutrality post, I have created a Net Neutrality profile that helps with some display filter buttons and modification of columns. This is just a tool, and I strongly urge you to read and do the lab as described in the article.

Post Views: 410 LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is a vendor-neutral Layer 2 protocol defined by the IEEE 802.1AB that allows network devices to advertise identity and capabilities to directly connected neighbors on the same Ethernet segment. Think of LLDP as a “hello, here’s who I am and what I can do” broadcast at Layer

Post Views: 415 CAN bus (Controller Area Network) is a robust, multi-master, message-based serial communication protocol used primarily in vehicles and industrial systems to allow Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to communicate over a shared two-wire differential bus without a central host. It was developed by Robert Bosch GmbH in the 1980s for automotive applications and

Post Views: 5,577 Special thanks to Peter Gaudiomonte for sharing this profile to the repository. What is JA4+? JA4+ is an extension of the JA4 (Just Another 4-tuple) family of fingerprinting techniques. It’s used for network traffic fingerprinting—especially in encrypted traffic analysis—and can be useful for threat detection, TLS/QUIC fingerprinting, and application identification, even when

Post Views: 12,828 Now that we have the IETF QUIC and HTTP3 released and in play in the network, if you want to see this protocol, use this profile. Read more at my article here. This profile will help you work with IETF QUIC that has not been decrypted so you cannot see the HTTP3

Post Views: 860 In Voice over IP (VoIP) to PSTN (telephone) network integration, MGCP and C15 can work together as part of a layered signaling architecture that bridges IP-based call control with traditional PSTN switching systems. This profile helps you see C15, MGCP as well as SIP traffic to correlate, filter, and troubleshoot these protocols.

Post Views: 1,558 This is a new version of our HTTP Profile for Wireshark. Wireshark defaults to this header reassembly process being ON. I have added a different version of this profile with this setting turned off – FYI. Header reassembly in HTTP troubleshooting can be confusing due to a combination of protocol layering, packet

Post Views: 1,809 This is a new version of our HTTP Profile for Wireshark. Wireshark defaults to a header reassembly process. I have added this version of the profile with this header reassembly setting turned off. Everything else is the same between the two profiles. Header reassembly in HTTP troubleshooting can be confusing due to

Post Views: 94,767 For those of you who love Wireshark and are supporting IPv6, we would like to offer an alternative to our default profile for IPv6. This one I call my IPv6 Super Profile. I created this based on modifying the Default IPv6 profile for a client that they called “super”. Think of it

Post Views: 6,281 Here is a UDP specific profile for Wireshark. Don’t be one of the people who overlook UDP in their troubleshooting! So many critical events in network operations actually use UDP! Especially today, with the rapid emergence of QUIC essentially replacing TCP. Enjoy. Many people overlook the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) in troubleshooting
Post Views: 126,200 Thanks for looking – this is our COMPREHENSIVE pcap file with hundreds of protocols – this is Version 12 Sure, there are others out there, but they all seem to be missing something, sometimes basic protocols like MPLS and many others. That said we asked for and received permission to build upon

Post Views: 113,724 TCP Delta Time refers to the time difference between consecutive Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets in a data transmission. It is an important metric when analyzing network performance for several reasons: 1. Network Latency and Performance High Delta Times: When the delta time between TCP packets is high, it may indicate network
