![]() Finding a 10BaseT hub for sale may require a little searching, but there are other alternatives. This is a list of tested devices, not strictly working devices, meaning some are tested and reported to not work with Wireshark.) Some of the devices listed can still be found on Amazon or eBay. A list of devices that have been tested can be found here. Since manufacturers of hubs decided nobody should have a use for them anymore, they are generally out of production. Beware of devices calling themselves "hubs" but support 100BaseT connections. ![]() It will let Wireshark see all traffic from the PC that goes between any other devices connected to that 10BaseT hub. If you have an old 10BaseT hub collecting dust somewhere, you now have a new use for it. A 10BaseT hub is not as smart as a switch and does not filter traffic. It is when your PC wants to simply "eavesdrop" that you run into problems with the network switch.Ī while back, 10BaseT hubs were common. If your PC itself is one end of the network conversation you wish to capture, for example when running ManageEngine or the Network Discovery Tool, then Wireshark will capture all network traffic to and from the PC however connected. In order to see that network traffic using Wireshark, you need to come up with the right kind of network connection. Therefore, your PC will not see traffic passing back and forth between two other devices that are not the PC. However, switches are really unmanaged routers, and they filter traffic. We typically just connect everything Ethernet to a switch and don't worry about it. The "hardware requirement" that is of most concern is the means of connecting to the network. There are also Linux and Mac OS X versions. Basically anything running any version of Windows can run Wireshark. There are no particular hardware requirements regarding the PC you run Wireshark on. ![]()
