Wireshark HW 3.0 Wireshark Telnet (V1.

1)

OVERVIEW

Wireshark is used to analyze the structure of different network protocols.

A protocol is the means, or set of rules, for computers to communicate on networks. So


with Wireshark, we can look at the different ways networks or devices communicate
with one another to see and understand what is happening in our network.

One protocol that we will be exploring is the telnet protocol.

Telnet is a network protocol that is mostly used to connect two computers remotely. It is
very useful if you want someone in another part of the world to use the computer you
are in front of.

However, telnet does not encrypt its traffic. The information that travels from one
device to another will be in plain text, and that leaves it vulnerable to threats, such as
“sniffing” where others can see the information.

OBJECTIVE

In this lab, you will use Wireshark to observe all of the packets coming in and out of a
Telnet connection to access information about the person on this network. Follow the
steps below to get started:

Steps

1. Download this telnet-cooked.pcap file and save it to your downloads folder.


2. Open the Wireshark application on your computer.
3. Once Wireshark opens, click on “Open a Capture File” in the top-left corner
of the application (looks like a blue folder)
4. When that file opens you will see the packets captured in this file. At the
top of Wireshark, in the "Apply a display filter" box, type telnet and press
the “Enter” key. Wireshark filters the packets, showing only the packets
that use the telnet.
5. Right-click on one of the Telnet lines in the Packet list section of Wireshark.
6. From the drop-down list that appears, select Follow TCP Stream.

7. The Follow TCP Stream window displays the data for this Telnet session.
The entire session is displayed in plain text, including a username and
password.

Review the Telnet session in the Follow TCP Stream window to answer the
questions below.

Questions:
1. What is the login name and password of the person who sent this packet?
[type answer name here]

2. What is the date and location of the last login in this stream?
[type answer name here]

3. List all commands run by the client after login successfully (separate them
per line).
[type answer name here]

4. If you were to recommend a way to remote into another device, which


protocol would you use, telnet or ssh, and why?
[type answer name here]

5. What is the difference between Telnet and SSH?
