Title: Newb question please

I would just run the capture without a filter to collect all the data. Then you can apply display filter when you view it to narrow it down to things like:

 

  1. just packets sent from your IP Address
  2. all HTTP packets sent from your IP address

 

That should give you most of what’s going on. I would shut down all applications on the machine that aren’t needed prior to doing your capture to cut down on application traffic that you are already aware of unless you want to see that too.

do I do this by running the capture?  any specific filter I should use to narrow the scope?

You can see exactly what URL’s your machine are going to and the IP addresses and ports that other applications are accessing but I don’t know of any way to tie a destination URL for instance to the spyware program that is telling it to go there (as an example).

Thanks in advance for helping.

Can I use Wireshark to tell me what traffic, from what program, is outbound over my network and/or PC to the Internet?

If so, what's the best way?

Thanks again!
