Starting a Capture

Capture windows are the main interface for presenting traffic analysis information about your network. You can have multiple configurable capture windows, each with its own selected adapter, its own dedicated capture buffer, and its own settings for filters, triggers, and statistics output.

Creating a Simple Filter

Filters work by testing packets against the criteria specified in the filter. Packets whose contents meet these criteria match the filter. You can build filters to test for just about anything found in a packet: addresses, protocols, sub-protocols, ports, error conditions, and more.
