But doing statistics on the data wouldn't be.

What could I do with that?"* will get you in trouble, for instance. you went to ? And this is your POST data? Huh. It's what you DO with the information gleaned from the kept traffic.

You can certainly record network traffic (which may be against policy at the place you're at), but that is not illegal. This is all good to know and all, but the question is if it's illegal. if you have your WireShark computer setup directly on the cable (no cable modem box cable modem embedded as a PCIe card or such.) Such hardware is rather rare, and cable ISPs tend to limit network availability to certain MAC addresses, so the ISP provided modem could access the cable, but not your computer-acting-as-modem (unless you asked them to allow it, which could raise some Red Flags and the request would likely be denied.) Therefore you could actually sniff the data on the coaxial cable WAN. P.S : WinPCap is apparently going to come out with a new version soon that is compatible with Windows 7.WireShark supports sniffing for DOCSIS packets (or s it frames with DOCIS). This will allow all users on the machine to use Wireshark without admin privileges.

Make sure you choose the option to install the NPF as a service during the install prompts.

Right click on the install and click on “Run as Administrator”.

In the properties window, click on the compatibility tab and change the option for “Run this program in compatibility mode for” to “ Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)” and click on OK.

Right click on the install file (I happened to download the 64 bit install) and click on properties.

Here are the steps to install Wireshark on Windows 7. I solved it by enabling compatibility mode on the install executable. Essentially, Windows was blocking the install of WinPcap (network capture driver). As part of installing my standard set of tools, I tried to install Wireshark (open source network capture tool), and ran into an error due to the UAC security settings. I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 RC from the beta version I was testing earlier. Looks like the issue was with the drivers not being signed digitally.

This release includes WinPcap 4.1.1, which has support for Windows. Wireshark works without any issues as of version 1.2.3.
