Introduction

• Wireshark is the best packet analyzer program. Many network engineers used it in order to solve communication issues.
• You can find many jobs require Wireshark for a network engineer with average salary $88000 in US.
• Now, after being familiar with Wireshark and its feature, our target is to build our own packet analyzer that is similar to Wireshark.
