This amounts to a lot of data that would be impractical to sort through without a filter.įortunately, filters are part of the core functionality of Wireshark and the filter options are numerous. Unless you’re using a capture filter, Wireshark captures all traffic on the interface you selected when you opened the application.
TTL value recorded as 128 means that the ICMP request came from a Windows-based machine.The ability to filter capture data in Wireshark is important. Go back to the Wireshark on Windows 10 machine and inspect again the same TTL information.Open the Prompt or Powershell and ping the Windows 10 machine running Wireshark.
You will repeat the same process, but with the Windows 7 machine. Refresh the Wireshark by starting another capture and go to your Windows 7.
TTL value recorded as 64 means that the ICMP request came from a Linux-based machine.
Go back to the Wireshark and inspect the ICMP protocol by selecting the packet frame captured Expand the Internet Protocol Version node in the packet details, you will see the TTL. Go to the Ubuntu machine and start pinging the Windows 10 machine. (The interface may differ from your lab environment). Open Wireshark on your Windows 10 machine, select the correct interface and start capturing. There are two types of banner grabbing techniques: active and passive.īanner grabbing or OS fingerprinting is the method to determine the OS running on a remote target system. Windows 10 machine (Target running Wireshark). Identify OS's by TTL and TCP window size using Wireshark. Identifying the OS used on the target host allows an attacker to figure out the vulnerabilities the system have and the exploits that might work on a system to further perform additional attacks.Ĭapture the response generated from the target machine using packet-sniffing tools such as Wireshark and watch the TTL and TCP window size. Identify Target System's OS with TTL (Time-to-Live) and TCP Windows Sizes using Wireshark
