Quick filtering with Wireshark - Drag n' DROP!

Here is a quick tip on a Wireshark feature that I use all the time. The drag and drop feature allows us to quickly set filters and hone in on the packets that matter.

didn't know this was possible with wireshark. thanks
please post more videos with such tips and tricks. these can be of great use for most people

[@ChrisGreer]

Thanks for the comment!

[@RolandKnall]

Btw, Holding Shift while dropping will "Prepare the filter" instead of immediately "Applying" it. That way, especially with larger traces, you can build up your filter string real quick before filtering

[@ChrisGreer]

Great tip Roland! Maybe I’ll spin up a quick video showing that too. 👍

[@joelcampos3073]

Precisely what every beginner needs.
Clear-cut, straight to the point.
Thank you!

Just one word - Amazing 👌

[@sravanakumar9326]

Wow, it's a great tip. Thank you.

[@bladeyu4769]

Thx for sharing; not aware of this quick filtering trick. Great contents

[@rajtilaksivaluri5039]

This is awesome. Makes it easy to filter and concentrate on analysis.

[@raymation3d]

All tips and tricks from Chris are amazing!!!!

[@ChrisGreer]

Thanks for the comment!

[@cmanglin]

Great tips. Had no idea

[@vijaygharge2414]

Awesome trick!

[@luigigarella5756]

fantastic one!

[@kampkrieger]

nice! But I wish there was some selection window for that of all recorded addresses. Whatever you do, first thing is search your potentially huge data log for the thing that interests you, e.g. USB is very annoying since you get all the mouse packets as well.
I wish there was a window that showed a button for each end point that has at least sent or received one packet and when clicked on it it sets the filter to this as src or dst.

[@olafgusten2671]

some short tips video time to time sounds great.

Thanks chris!

[@ChrisGreer]

Thanks for stopping by the channel Kristie!

[@tranxn7971]

Very useful tip, thanks ! Not related but it just pop into my mind, did you ever share your Wireshark profile ( I can see that you have a couple of filter shortcut) ?

[@VinayakKamble-gf6le]

Thanks you so much for information, I have learned a lot from this. I have query about TTL Value. I have captured packet at source machine and in SYN packets i observed changing TTL value from 1-3 and sometimes 64 since it is Linux. can you please help to understand why TTL 1 is used here by source machine instead of 64 since no any routing is happening and packets captured from source itself. Hope to here soon

[@KSax-ed9vy]

Fantastic

[@ChrisGreer]

Thanks!

[@rcdenis1]

More, more please!

[@ChrisGreer]

😄 thanks!!

[@sbbolton66]

Right-click and select option.

[@symshark]

TY!

[@ChrisGreer]

YW!

I often capture ingress and egress packets on my FW, it is useful as you can see the NAT occurring across two TCP streams and it helps with troubleshooting. However sometimes there are ingress and egress packets with no NAT (intentional) and so wireshark interprets them as all being in the same TCP stream and therefore sees them as duplicates. I can remove the duplicates (usually by applying a filter on the MAC address) but the TCP dissector still doesn't display the packets correctly. Is there a way to tell the TCP dissector to process only the `displayed` packets ? Thanks

[@ChrisGreer]

A quick way could be to export the displayed packets as another separate pcap and re-open it in Wireshark. That is what I usually do when I am deduplicating so I don’t have to keep the Mac filter applied.

[@turb0t]

@@ChrisGreer Thank you. I was hoping that there might be an easier way without exporting , mainly to do side by side comparison that the payloads or tcp options have not been changed, but alas.

[@naimulislam1263]

I thought its abut QUIC protocol 😆
