Hi all, I have been given the following homework. My teacher was not very clear about using wireshark, which has led to confusion on my end. We are using an online virtual machine. The questions is as follows: "Using wireshark_setup.pcapng, filter the packets to view only HTTP requests. What is the source IP address shown on the last packet?"

It is safe to say i am quite confused about whats going on, any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance :D

Are you able to open the capture file in the gui?

Then filter the packet with a display filter:

Thank you but none of the documentation is making sense to me, could you try explaining it to me?

We're trying to give you hints rather than the complete answer. What have you tried?

@grahamb - didn't know about homework tag. That's excellent! Thanks.

If you want to only show HTTP requests, you can use the filter http. After starting a capture, type http into the display filter box.
