Someone asked me if you can use Wireshark to discover devices.
The answer is kind of no in the sense that Wireshark doesn’t actively go out and ping or scan your network to find hosts. But you can use Wireshark to listen or ‘passively’ discover devices on your network.
As always, I will keep it short and just say that everything you need to know is in the video.
