Wireshark Dropped Packet Counter

For those of you who read my material regularly, I’m sure you will remember me referring to ‘baselines’ and ‘tool calibration’ exercises.

The point is for you to take a closer look at your tools or applications and understand how they behave and in some cases what changes version changes may bring.

In this specific example I was working with Wireshark and noticed the ‘dropped’ packet counter is missing from the status bar and found it elsewhere.
