equivalent of the hex data. This is the section that lets you actually peer into<br />
the packet and see what type of data is being transmitted, character-by-character.<br />
3.2.4.3 Configuration<br />
Using Ethereal can be as simple as you want it to be. By default it <strong>com</strong>es with everything set<br />
up for full sniffing, and the only necessary setting is the selection of the network interface<br />
device. However, because of a very user-friendly user interface, this option is simple to use and<br />
easy to find.<br />
To start sniffing, ensure that you have a network card in operational mode. This means the<br />
NIC’s drivers must be installed and the card must be able to receive and transmit data. If the<br />
card does not work properly before using Ethereal, it will certainly not work while it is running.<br />
In addition, if you are using a WNIC, you might be limited as to how far out on the network you<br />
can sniff. If you are using a *nix OS, you will probably be able to sniff to at least the wireless<br />
router, wireless access point, or closest switch. If you are using Windows, your WNIC will only<br />
capture local data. Keep this in mind, or else you will spend hours attempting to troubleshoot a<br />
known issue.<br />
To set up Ethereal to use your NIC, click Capture → Start. You will be shown a screen<br />
similar to Figure 9.2.
