I am using wireshark on windows to capture my traffic.

Is there a way to capture the traffic of other computers which are connected to the same LAN. If it is not possible with wireshark, is there other tool capable of doing this.

Answer 1

If you are connected to the other computers by a network hub, then you will be able to see the other computers' traffic. However, if you are connected through a network switch (which is more likely), then you will not be able to see any of their traffic.

There may be other more intrusive tools to use, possibly some that use arp-spoofing, but I would not recommend this unless you are on your own private network and know what you are doing.
