With this only ascii strings are visible and human readable. Packet Disscestion (Packet bytes pane) The dissector panel also called packet bytes pane, displays the same information as those provided on the packet details pane but in the raw form as the hexadecimal number without interpretation other than ascii codes.Every bit of packet is explained so there is no need of doing this manually. The information is displayed per OSI layer and can be expanded and collapsed. Packet details pane The packet details pane gives in depth information about a packet selected in the packet list pane.

Packet list pane The packet list pane displays all the captured packets after applying to them display filters.

Both filters are described in the following part of this tutorial. Please note that display filter and capture filter are different things.

Display filter The display filter is used to search inside the captured logs.

Toolbar Below the menu there are shortcuts icons.

Lua can be used to write dissectors, post-dissectors and taps. Lua options allow us to work with the Lua interpreter optionally build into Wireshark.

The firewall stage only lists the outgoing direction (RFC1918 -> dest) since the returning traffic is still NATted, hence the filter is not working the receive stage captured the outgoing traffic (RFC1918 -> dest) and the returning, but NATed (dest -> SNAT), hence no correlation in Wireshark as well and the transmit stage captured only the returning traffic (dest -> RFC1918): Looking at the firewall, receive, and transmit stage, none of them is complete. Now here’s the trick: I’m still using a single filter statement with the internal RFC1918 IPv4 address as the source and the public server IPv4 address as the destination: Scenario 2: Internal Client -> External Server with outgoing SNAT/PAT aka “Dynamic IP And Port” Never mind of the VLAN tag that is present on only one side of the connection since my client network is within VLAN 69 at this point while the other interface is untagged. (I wasn’t sure about this for a long time.) No need for a second statement such as server -> client.Ĭapturing all four stages, the firewall stage has everything captured, hence Wireshark is able to correlate the echo-request/-replies as well as the whole TCP/SSH session. Returning traffic is captured automatically.

Simply use a single filter statement for your client -> server. Scenario 1: End-to-End Communication w/o NAT For all the following tests, I did a ping followed by an SSH connection attempt. (Has anyone ever had a case where this checkmark saved four life? Please write a comment if so!) In addition, I’m always capturing at all four stages. I’m always enabling the “pre-parse match” checkbox. To my mind, this is a reasonable tradeoff between “filtering but not too complicated”. For the sake of simplicity, I’m only using IP addresses in the filters, not ports. The screenshots are from Wireshark version 3.6.5. Furthermore, I definitely want to use a filter to limit the amount of captured packets. Wireshark should be able to correlate the incoming/outgoing packets into a single TCP stream. (Yes, I’m aware of all disadvantages of not using a real TAP and a real capture device.) In the end, I want a single pcap which shows all relevant packets for a client-server connection, even if NAT is in place. I’m simply using the Palo as a capturing device here, similar to a SPAN port on a switch. I am using the packet capture feature very often for scenarios in which the IP connections are in fact working (hence no problems at the tx/rx level nor on the security policy/profile) but where I want to verify certain details of the connection itself. While you might be familiar with the four stages that the Palo can capture (firewall, drop, transmit, receive), it’s sometimes hard to set the correct filter – especially when it comes to NAT scenarios.

It enables you to capture packets as they traverse the firewall. Palo Alto firewalls have a nice packet capture feature.
