TCP Sequence Numbers

 Wireshark.

5. METHODOLOGY
a. Open Wireshark in a computer connected to a network.
b. Start capturing the packets that pass through the Ethernet interface.
c. Open and web page; one of your preference.
d. Download a file
e. Allow wireshark to capture packets for 10 minutes.

f. Close the web page and the web browser.

g. Stop the capture and save it.

h. By means of display filters show the SEQ and ACK.

6. RESULTS
Include the following ítems in the report.
 Display filters
 Screenshots showing the SEQ and ACK numbers.
