In this chapter, we cover issues that improve the use of Wireshark as a network analysis tool. We start with configuring the user interface, and setting global and protocol preferences. Next, we talk about Wireshark folders, configuration files, and folders and plugins.
We continue with coloring rules and how to configure them. We also talk about the intelligent scrollbar added to Wireshark Version 2, which can be used for traffic patterns and behavior recognition.
We close this chapter with profiles and how to use them. Profiles are sets of display and capture filters, coloring rules, and preferences set for a specific environment, protocols or networking issues that are previously configured to ease network troubleshooting. Profiles are explained, along with helpful profiles that are attached to this book.
