I hope you find this article and its content helpful. But one can imagine using these hidden fields to expand contents of your Profiles and filters. This does not need to be on for the filter above to work.
If you are interested in exploring other Wireshark Expert hidden fields, on a MAC click Wireshark> Preferences> Protocols, and on a Windows machine click Edit> Preferences> Protocols and then select the 'Display hidden protocol items': Further, instead of using the '>=' operator we need to use the 'contains' operator, thus if the MAC address of any packet is resolved from the large number of OUI's to be 'Apple' we have found all the Apple based traffic. It is called the 'eth.addr_resolved' field. The solution is to use a "hidden" protocol field that the Wireshark Expert actually has for MAC addresses. First, any Ethernet MAC above this range will be included, but more importantly we have not considered all the other Apple OUI's.īut we can see that Wireshark's display filter mechanism does not accept that syntax. If we modify the filter to this, trying to get all systems that have the OUI: So the first 3 bytes (3c:07:54) must be an Apple OUI. If we right click on the source MAC address field and select Apply as a filter, we get the following syntax:
Luckily, Wireshark can perform number name resolution for MAC addresses. The problem with the question is that Apple for example may have dozens or hundreds of OUI's.
The OUI is essentially the first 24 bits of the MAC address field (it is actually 22 bits - detail details). Great question, and one I get all the time.Īs most of you know, the manufacturer of a networking device that uses MAC addressing can be identified by the OUI - Organizationally Unique Identifier.
