Re: Secured way of using Wireshark

Nag,

I'm not sure what you mean by your question. Capturing packets is for the
most part passive, in that you are saving packets to a file for viewing.
Wireshark does not propagate packets to the rest of the network, no matter
how virus laden they are. (Certainly as long as those packets are not
specially crafted to maybe exploit a vulnerability in wireshark itself,
which while it ihas been done, is very very rarely actually seen in the
wild).

Regards, Martin
