Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Data within TCP/IP packets

Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:29:38 +0200
Hi,

 I have used Wireshark some time ago, but in a specific IP Telephony
environment, so my experience is limited.

 Right now I have a problem of a different kind. We have am old Oracle
server that many many different applications are accessing. For a number
of different reasons we can not get information on which applications are
connecting to the database, from which terminals and more importantly
what they are doing (basic lookup, update or insert ).

 My idea is to capture traffic going to the DB server. The question is are
we going to be able to get information from TCP/IP traffic on SQL
commands that applications re sending to the server ?

 FYI, DB is very old and we can't get all information we need  from DB
logger.

Thanks for your help
Emil
