This version contains more RAM, better cards section, a laptop cards section and the removal of the previous filler section in the middle. 'http.host' means any packet which have HTTP hosts Description A much better revision of the previous educational sheet explaining computer parts. It might be that for your specific filter at hand, the current capture are displaying the same results, but it might give you a different result with a different capture Occurrences of a field named ip.addr with the value 1.2.3.4'. Other words, 'filter out all packets for which there are no If you want to filter out all packets containing IP datagrams to orįrom IP address 1.2.3.4, then the correct filter is !(ip.addr =ġ.2.3.4) as it reads 'show me all the packets for which it is not true that a field named ip.addr exists with a value of 1.2.3.4', or in The expression will evaluate to true whenever at least one of the two Is that the expression ip.addr != 1.2.3.4 must be read as 'the packetĬontains a field named ip.addr with a value different from 1.2.3.4'.Īs an IP datagram contains both a source and a destination address, Source or destination IP address equals 1.2.3.4. Instead, that expression will even be true for packets where either Then they use ip.addr != 1.2.3.4 to see all packets not containing the Often people use a filter string to display something like ip.addr =ġ.2.3.4 which will display all packets containing the IP address 1.2.3.4. Ip.addr, tcp.port, udp.port and alike will probably not work as Warning! Using the != operator on combined expressions like: eth.addr, The use of the NOT (!=) operator in Wireshark comes with a caveat, as mentioned in the
