Simply download the profile you want (they are all zipped).

It is now super easy to add our profiles to your Wireshark system. WE DO NOT POST ANYTHING WE WOULD CONSIDER SHADY. We try to state below what changes we have made, additions to, etc. Possible, but in the long run, as long as you are watchful and wary, this thinking is ridiculous. It’s like saying you should not use open source software because you never know who inserted something into the code. That said, this is no reason to not share profiles. You should unzip a zipped profile and make sure it only contains TXT files. I mean, I get the point, someone could sneak something into the profile that is bad. Sounds to me like always starting from scratch is a great way to dive up consulting hours and limiting knowledge share.

In fact, I just attended a Wireshark related Webinar where one of the presenters said (and I quote exactly) they “do not like sharing profiles”, because, they said “you don’t know what things have been set in the profiles that you yourself have not created”! Yet t here are almost no repositories for Wireshark profiles. Check out this video on the power of Wireshark Profiles: This is accomplished by changing preferences, color rules, display and capture filters, columns and contents, and much more.Īs most of you who are Wireshark users know, this is perhaps the most important capability of Wireshark that speeds troubleshooting and elimination of false positives. Wireshark profiles allow you, the user, to customize the Wireshark GUI, to tune Wireshark, to a particular protocol, to a particular view, or to a particular task. You can also find these profiles on Github: We have been asked countless times over the years to share, and provide a sharing place for, Wireshark Profiles. Since March 2017 – Over 100,000 Downloads!
