Wireshark, the most powerful packet sniffer and protocol analyser can be used to sniff data out of the captured packets for various protocols. Network communication takes place in packets and any request like http get/post is broken down into multiple packets and then transmitted to the remote webserver. Wireshark has the ability to reconstruct a communication stream using separate packets to show the actual conversation that took place. This feature can be used to easily view the communication in plain text format, without having to read individual packets.
When used in combination with man in the middle attack/arp spoofing, this feature can be handy to sniff various http post data or the data submitted in forms. In this post I am going to show you how easy it is with wireshark.

The first thing to do is to start capturing packets on a interface with wireshark. And then do some http form submissions. Wireshark displays a column for the "Protocol". For http packets the column would show the value "HTTP".
Now lets filter out the http packets out of all other packets. This is very simple, just type http in the filter box and hit enter. Wireshark would right away...
