Hello, network engineers and packet enthusiasts! 🚀
I’m excited to share a Wireshark profile I’ve created to make TCP traffic analysis faster, clearer, and more intuitive. If you’ve ever spent hours digging through packet captures looking for TCP issues, you know how vital it is to have the right filters and visual cues at your fingertips.
What is this Wireshark profile?
This profile is tailored for network engineers working with TCP. It includes:
- Custom display filters for key TCP flows (SYN, ACK, RST, retransmissions, etc.)
- Coloring rules that visually highlight packet states and anomalies
- A streamlined interface that saves time when troubleshooting slow connections, resets, or retransmission storms
You can preview the profile here:

Why use it?
This profile helps you:
- Quickly isolate TCP session behaviors
- Visually differentiate normal vs. abnormal packet patterns
- Speed up troubleshooting for latency, drops, or packet loss
- Learn and teach TCP concepts through visual cues
It’s a small tweak with a big impact when you’re working on complex network issues.
How to get started
- Clone or download the profile from the GitHub repo
- Import it into your Wireshark instance
- Start capturing and see the difference in your packet analysis workflow!
Future plans
I’m always open to feedback. Have ideas for additional filters or color rules? Let’s collaborate!
Feel free to comment below, share your use cases, or contribute on GitHub. Let’s make TCP analysis smoother for everyone. 🚀
