Wireshark Preferences Quickstart

I get occasional emails or messages to produce some updated Wireshark quickstart videos ranging from basic navigation, how I configure Wireshark to troubleshooting scenarios.

I went back and was surprised that some of my Wireshark quickstart tutorials are 2 – 4 years old.

So time to refresh some of the basics and provide some tips and tricks along the way.

In this video I review the Preferences pane in Wireshark. If you use Wireshark regularly, you should be familiar with screen to modify important options, such as your pane layout or default interfaces.

I could have produced a 30 min video, but many of you have told me that you prefer my many smaller, specific videos instead. That way you can choose a specific topic, knowing that within a few minutes you’ll be done.

Enjoy.
