How works wireshark?

Asked by tashi

Hello, Linuxers,

I'd like to know some details on wireshark. For instance, I'd like to know why when I launch as root, it says to me that running it as "root" user (and group!) could be dangerous?

I'd like moreover to know something else: I do use a wireless network, and I'd like to know how to remove all the traffics printed which comes or goes towards my machine. Could someone explain me what I should do to have it?

Thanks to tell me more about it if ever you know how it works,
Bye!

Could someone just tell me how to filter packets coming from somewhere, or going to somewhere? Thanks to help me if you know!

So, does anyone know how works wireshard, the tool to set any program window over a specific workspace?

OK, looks like no-one sharply knows how it works, and so I should simply now find a documentation over the Internet by myself!
Good luck to everyone about your own troubles! ;)
