Packet Analysis on MikroTik: Sniffing and SIP Tracing with Wireshark
Packet analysis is an essential skill for network administrators, offering insights into the health and security of a network. MikroTik routers, equipped with the powerful Sniffer tool, provide a robust platform for capturing network traffic. This guide will walk you through the process of dumping packets on a MikroTik router, exporting them to a pcap file, and analyzing them in Wireshark with a focus on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) tracing. We will also explore how to stream packets in real-time to Wireshark using the TZSP (TaZmen Sniffer Protocol).
