A packet sniffer consists of two main parts: the capture driver and the packet capture library.

Wireshark can be downloaded from the official Wireshark website.
Initiating a capture in Wireshark is done by clicking the "Start" button or selecting "CaptureOptions" from the "Capture" menu.
The initial view when starting Wireshark for packet capture is the "Start Page" or "Welcome Screen".

The purpose of the packet capture library in a packet sniffer is to analyze and decode the captured packets, presenting the data in a human-readable format.
