How to use filters in the wireshark? - wireshark

I try to capture http traffic with Wireshark and cant implement filters.
For example, I need filtered traffic by URL. I found solution in the tutorial https://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/wireshark-filter.html
So I try to follows but have the error syntax error in the filter expression or invalid capture filter:
How to correctly use filters in the Wireshark?

Step – 1: Select correct interface
You need to choose the interface you're sniffing data from. If you are using wireless router to connect internet, then select the Wi-fi: en0 option.
If you are confused with many options, please remove unwanted connected devices to reduce the options, also open any YouTube video so that you can see the traffic fluctuation on your internet link interface. Note that straight line next to interface means no active traffic on that interface.
(Refer below video for detail information:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wB3ku4TSLY)
Step-2 : Design correct filter
To apply correct filter, you should know the public IP address or port (or both). In your case, open cmd prompt (windows user) and Nslookup your URL to find the ip address
(Refer video for detail information : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DzG2hKAZ9U)
Hence your filter is “ip.addr == 104.26.11.240”
Step-3 : Apply filter
Instead of “http contains “Google”” please Enter “ip.addr == 104.26.11.240” without double quotes.
And hit the enter key, your red filter Colour become green & you can see at the bottom
packets : (number1) . Displayed : (number2)
number1- total number of packets captured on interface
number2 - relevant number of packets on interface of www.wireshark.org
Step-4 : save packets
Save only relevant traffic (5 packets) and exclude the unwanted traffic (397 packets).
Click on file
Click on exports specified packets
Select filename & path
Select format pcapng

First you need to choose the interface you're sniffing data from. If you wish to sniff the the wireless data then select the Wi-fi: en0 option, then when the interface is sniffing and parsing the data you can then use the filters as you wish.

That area is for a capture filter, not a display filter. If you remove your text, you should see that it indicates, "Enter a capture filter ...". The area for entering a display filter is at the top of the screen where it indicates, "Apply a display filter ... <Ctrl-/>".
As the name suggests, capture filters are applied during capturing and use a different syntax than Wireshark's display filters, which are applied after packets have already been captured when working with a capture file. For more information on capture filter syntax, refer to the pcap-filter man page.
For more information on Wireshark display filters, refer to section 6.4. Building Display Filter Expressions in the Wireshark User's Guide.

difference between ip.src!=ADDR and !ip.src==ADDR

Say that my IP address is 192.168.1.12 and I want to see traffics that don't contain my IP address using a display filter.
The result of filter "!ip.src==192.168.1.12 and !ip.dst==192.168.1.12" differs from that of filter "ip.src!=192.168.1.12 and ip.dst!=192.168.1.12". This is so weird, can anyone explain it to me?
BTW, I've checked the wireshark's doc 6.4.7. A Common Mistake with !=, and I'm sure that I'm not making the same mistakes here.
This is an analogon from the analog world: There are differences between
"show me apples that are not red"
and
"don't show me red apples".
What would you do with green apples?
The Wiresahrk display filters work similar. If you specify !ip.addr==192.168.1.12 you will suppress all IP packets sent from the specified IP address. But you don't suppress other packets like e.g. ARP packets.
But if you specify ip.addr!=192.168.1.12 you get only IP packets sent from any host except the specified IP address. You will see less packets.
Since you want to check for source or destination address I use ip.addr. That's an abbreviation for that purpose.
If you want to filter traffic that don't contain IP address : "192.168.1.12" then you have below two options.
Option: 1
Instead of specific source and specific destination filters, you can use below filter:
!(ip.addr == 192.168.1.12)
Option: 2
If you want to use both source and destination filter then logical operation will be "OR". you can use below filter:
!(ip.src == 192.168.1.12 or ip.dst == 192.168.1.12)

Inspect - network section ( please explain what is in the picture)

Please check this image and let me know why these sections are here
You are filtering to only show XHR requests.
Of the 32 requests that the network inspector captured, only 2 (one for simulator and one for header) are XHR requests.
Those two requests use 2.6KB of the 2.0MB total traffic the network inspector captured.
If you want to see a list of all requests, click the "All" button just to the left of "XHR".

Apache Nifi RouteHL7 Issue

I am unable to understand how to use RouteHL7 processor in nifi, Can any one please guide me how to use that.
I want to add some property in RouteHL7 Processor. Please guide me how to use.
Thanks.
You add properties to the RouteHL7 processor the same way as for any other processor. There is a "+" button on the top right of the Properties tab of the Configure Processor dialog (right click on the processor and select Configure).
You then name the property (this will be the name of the connection relationship for any flowfiles that match) and provide your query value. For example:
glucose: DECLARE result AS REQUIRED OBX SELECT MESSAGE WHERE result.4 < 60
Then drag the connection from the RouteHL7 processor to your desired destination and select glucose as the relationship to route there.
I've posted this template as a Gist, and you can look at the unit tests for RouteHL7 to see other query examples.

How to filter wireshark to display only packets between a server and a client?

I am new to wireshark and trying to write simple filters. What i am trying to do is the following: I want to write a filter so that only the packets between my computer and a specified server appear in the packets pane. Here is what i tried:
ip.src==159.20.94.8 and ip.dst==10.1.1.7
First one is the ip address of my computer, and second one is the ip address of the server. But there is also the opposite of this, in which source is the server and destination is my computer.
ip.src==10.1.1.7 and ip.dst==159.20.94.8
So my question is, how can i combine these two filters? Or is there a simpler way for this filtering?
Thanks
Use ip.addr==159.20.94.8 and ip.addr==10.1.1.7
I know that doesn't seem to make sense, but ip.addr matches either source or destination.
Use ip.addr==10.0.0.1 or ip.addr==10.0.0.2.
Using the OR operator will give you results in both ways(Source and Destination).

Wireshark with WANT_PACKET_EDITOR defined

I want to modify some packets (HTTP) bits to specific value, that means I need to modify the packets manually. I see wireshark has an option named WANT_PACKET_EDITOR in config.nmake (I work on windows), uncomment it and compile, I see there is a new menu entry names "Edit Packet" under "Edit" menu, when I open a pcap file, move to a HTTP get packet, execute "Edit"->"Edit Packet", popup a window, this window looks exactly same as I double click on the packet in main window. The most important thing is, I can't do any modify in this popup window, so how does this functionality called "Edit Packet" but can't edit anyway?
Am I missing other things?
I'm tested the packet editing functionality too with the newest wireshark code
compiled with WANT_PACKET_EDITOR activated .
And it seems to work, although this functionality is marked as experimental.
I have marked one selected packet and the called "Edit/Edit packet" from menu.
Packet editing dialog appears.
And then I have changed MAC source address of given packet from FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF: to
01:11:11:11:11:11:, so that I positioned the cursor in the bottom hex view window
and I overwrite these FF values with new values.
Then I closes editing dialog and exported all packets into an another
capture file with another name with File/Export specified packets (all packets).
Changed packet was right saved with the new value of destination address edited by me.
It seem to work.
