both have the capability to run on different operating systems like Solaris, macOS, Windows, Linux, BSD, or any other Unix distribution. Both the platforms are cross-platform i.e. Specifically, Nmap falls under the category of network scanner and in turn helps in the domain of network security, whereas Wireshark falls under the subcategory of packet analyzer. Each of the 2 tools falls under the respective subcategory of network troubleshooting. (Hopefully Wireshark can analyze them).Nmap and Wireshark are defined as networking technique tools that enable users to perform network troubleshooting in various forms like troubleshooting of network, analysis of the network, protocol development in communications, discovering of hosts or services on the network, and so on. You may want to look at editcap -C to chop those headers off the packets if you just want the video frames. You should start looking at the packets to figure out the encapsulation used for the streaming video.Īssuming (I know) you are on an Ethernet network you could see the Ethernet frame header, the IP packet header and a TCP or UDP segment header before the actual video frames. This should filter out everything but the streaming video unless there was other large transfer of data at the same time you were capturing. You can right click on that first line and select " Apply as Filter" then " Selected" and then " A B". " Address A" should be the source you are looking for and " Address B" should be your own address or vice versa.
(The triangle is pointing down so sorting from high to low.) The first line at the top should show the source IP you are looking for after sorting. In the IPv4 (or IPv6 if you swing that way) you should be able to sort the lines by the " Packets" column. If you capture all traffic on your computer with Wireshark while streaming the video (and doing nothing else) you should be able to find the source server easily.Īfter the capture is complete, go to " Statistics" and then " Conversations.” Most streaming video will usually come from only one server at a time. Make sure you are running the latest version of Wireshark to maximize your chances.įor the sake or argument, let's assume (I know) that the format is known to Wireshark. First keep in mind that there are a lot of different video formats out there and that Wireshark may or may not be able to dissect the one you are interested in.
