Hello,

I hope this email finds you well. As we know, wireshark is a network protocol analyzer, and it does not have the ability to decrypt encrypted communications. Major social media platforms, like facebook or Wechat, use robust encryption methods to ensure that the content of messages remains secured and unreadable by network analysis tools like Wireshark. There's some confusion among the non-technical staff at Carnegie Mellon on this subject. Could you please confirm this statement above? 

Thank you,
Shibo
