Wireshark
Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer that you can use to capture packets from applications
on your network. You can examine the packets to determine the unique identifier for an
application, which you can use to create a match object for use in an App Rules policy.
Wireshark is freely available at: http://www.wireshark.org
The process of finding the unique identifier or signature of a Web browser is illustrated in the
following packet capture sequence.
Step 1 In Wireshark, click Capture > Interfaces to view your local network interfaces.

interface:
As soon as the capture begins, start the browser and then stop th e capture. In this e xample, Firefox is started.
