can I modify packets using Wireshark?

0

Can wireshark be used to modify packets by intercepting them midway. I have used WebScarab web application proxy to intercept browser requests and alter them before passing them on to their actual target website. But I do not know whether I can do a similar operation with wireshark. If not which tool can help me do that? Pls help.

No it can't. Wireshark captures packets as-is, and does not modify them. I would use a tool like Fiddler to intercept and modify requests and responses.
