Conclusions

Wireshark is the ideal tool when it comes to capturing network traffic and can also be used to analyze MITM attacks. With its various filters, you can determine whether data on the network shows signs of such attacks. Together with software such as XArp and Ettercap, you can perform stress tests on your own network to check your internal security situation.
