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.
This is Jasper Bongertz’s default profile – find him on Twitter @PacketJay From Jasper: “There you go… this is my main profile, for working on screens with aminimum resolutions of 1980×1024.” Cheers,Jasper
