Full disclosure: I have no idea how to use Wireshark.. My laptop is pulling full, available, download bandwidth and I have no idea how to use Wireshark to determine what app is doing it.. Task manager is showing the bandwidth under performance (win 8.1) but when I look at processes it does not add up. The proof is in the pudding though: if I tether the laptop, its pulling insane bandwidth down stream.... Is there a profile or settings I can use with Wireshark to figure out what app is using all this band with and where the data is going? T.I.A asked 28 Jun '14, 19:40  LilRedDog |
One Answer:
Wireshark can help you determine what the traffic is and the external source\destination but can't directly tell you which process. However Win 8.1 already has the tools to do this, open "Resource Monitor", select the "Network" tab and the process with the most network I/O should be top of the list in the "Processes with Network Activity" list. The next list "Network Activity" then breaks that down by destination address. answered 29 Jun '14, 13:38  grahamb ♦ edited 29 Jun '14, 15:10 |
