I would recommend that you use utility such as TCPView
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx) to see what
a specific application is doing.

 

It would be neat to see Wireshark extended to be able to capture traffic on
a process and all sub-processes that are spawned - I would recommend that
you enter that as a feature request.

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Capturing traffic resulting from running a new
program

 

Most Windows machines seem to be very busy in terms of the amount of network
traffic. Is it possible to set up a filter that basically says "ignore
everything that is current showing up"? It would make it so much easier to
see what a new program is sending and receiving if you could focus on just
its traffic.

 

I realize that such a filter would potentially lose some of the programs
traffic when it was indistinguishable from that of another program. DNS look
up comes to mind, although even then, the new program is likely looking up
different addresses from the already running programs.

 

 

While I suspect the answer is no, as it seems like a relatively tough
problem, I appreciate any suggestions or answers.

 

Thank you in advance,

Richard Sargent
