Quick question about Wireshark

[tyraeon]

Well, my question is, is there any way to monitor wired network traffic (on a network without wireless) without wiring directly into the modem?

Not through the switch that you have. As the switch would have to support port spanning.

Now, can you take that statement, as well as another statement made by another user in this thread and extrapolate what you'd need to do?

That's called applying knowledge.

Yeah... pwn the wired box on your net and dump

1) Read up on network devices.
2) Read up on network protocols.
3) Read up on span ports.
4) Read up on ARP poisoning.

Why you arpspoofer you...

Really???

I beg to differ.

I can use ettercap on my laptop (wireless) and sniff ALL my traffic on my WIRED PC (no wireless) connected on a switched AP...and pull up every site I typed in a username and password..and do the same thing using wireshark.(See all packets sent from my WIRED Desktop)..and it all comes up on my wireless laptop.

"is there some command or button in Wireshark that I'm missing that allows a network wide scan?"

The short answer is yes and no. Will it(WireShark) scan all traffic=Yes. The way you have it set up=No.
