Columns

ShowShark provides clear, structured columns for analysing network captures.
Each column displays key information about a packet or device to make lighting data easier to interpret.


Default Columns

Column Description
No. Packet index number within the capture
Time Timestamp relative to capture start
Source Device name or IP/MAC of packet sender
Destination Device name or IP/MAC of packet receiver
Protocol Protocol decoded (e.g. sACN, Art-Net, IGMP)
Info Summary of payload details for quick context

Manufacturer Awareness

Columns automatically use friendly names when possible.
For example, known OUIs or ESTA codes are replaced with manufacturer names to make the source and destination easier to identify.


Customising Columns

You can toggle, resize, or reorder columns within Wireshark or ShowShark preferences.
Column layout is saved between sessions, allowing a consistent analysis view.


Use the Columns view to quickly understand packet flow, source/destination roles, and network behaviour at a glance.
