SharkFest'26 Europe

Jaap Keuter

After studying "Telecommunications and computer systems", I worked for a global PABX manufacturer and now for a company that designs Ethernet switching and optical transmission systems, and High Assurance solutions, as an embedded software engineer. Along the way I started using what was then called Ethereal, enhancing it and providing bug fixes, which eventually lead me to becoming a core developer.

Besides this I like to spend time in the air, either skydiving or flying sailplanes.

Packet capture basics; how do you get 'em
Jaap Keuter

We've all heard that Wireshark can do packet analysis. But how do you get these packets in the first place? Here we'll discuss some of the different ways packet capture actually works, to give you a deeper understanding of what you can expect to show up, and not show up, when you get to the packet analysis part. In the end, even if you don't follow all the technical details, you should have a much better grasp of the world of packet capture.
