Remote capture usage

In this section, we'll take a look at how to use that remote packet capture software that we set up with WinPcap on the remote system.

In order to use that remote WinPcap service running on the remote system and capture packets from it, we need to add that into our local Wireshark interface so that we can capture it. So in order to do this, we will perform the following steps:

  1. We will go ahead and click on Capture options icon.
  2. Click on Manage Interfaces... and you'll see here that there's the Remote Interfaces tab; click on that.
  3. Click on the plus icon in the bottom left-hand side here.
  4. Enter in the Host IP address of that remote system.
  5. Click on the Password authentication radio button, and enter in the credentials for that service account that we created. I used pcap here. You can then enter in the username and password and click on OK....
