Wireshark remains one of the most trusted tools for network engineers, security teams, and integrators – and its true power comes from display filters that instantly cut through noisy packet captures.

From DHCP and ARP discovery to HTTP inspection and multicast debugging, the article provides practical, ready-to-use filters that engineers rely on every day.
