Real Time Network Traffic Analysis and Visualization using Wireshark and Google Maps

This study presents Network Tracker, an innovative solution designed to address the challenge of gaining live insights into network events and better mapping their geographical coverage. In an era where technological advances have raised security and defense systems to new heights, the proliferation of hackers and fraudsters poses a growing threat. Network Tracker uses Wireshark’s robust packet analysis capabilities and integrates with Google Maps-based location visualization. The main objective is to empower users, both businesses and ordinary individuals, to manage their networks in a transparent and proactive manner, highlighting the growing importance of networks, but also increasing the risks associated with them. Further highlights the urgent need for traffic internalization of detailed analytics to gain data stream insights, detect traffic risk and enhance overall network performance increased capabilities Google Maps combined with integration providing detailed, packet-level insights into data streams at a scalable level. Through websites flagged as potentially malicious activity to monitor and trace host connections to these servers, this solution provides users with an effective tool to detect and control address security concerns.
