The purpose of this article awareness about http and https connection why its necessary to use https connection i am using wireshark bcz  Wireshark can be used to troubleshoot network issues, check security issues, validate network applications, debug protocol implementation, learn protocol internals, and more. One such fun use of Wire Shark is to obtain important credentials such as usernames and passwords, or credit card details.

Here, you can see a list of interfaces that can be used to analyze network packets. You can double click on your desired interface to start capturing.

We'll capture username and pass over wifi 

We can filter the packet list pane to display packets of specific protocol, which in our case is HTTP, because we are going to get the details of user login credentials.

Because HTTP is not secure, we can take advantage of websites that use the HTTP protocol and require some login. You can get a list of such websites by googling, or instead you can create your own HTML login page and host it on your computer.

Go to this website and login with any credentials. Here, I have entered "snif_username" as the username and "wireshark_pass" as the password.

Now go to the wire shark, and you will see that our shark has grabbed some packets.

To view the contents of the packet, just right-click on it and select Flow -> HTTP Stream.

In the details of the packet, you can see the credentials that I have already entered on the website.

You've successfully learned how to sniff network traffic and analyze the details of a captured packet to find important information.
