IT- Wireshark capturing packets help! i need to capture a packet from a "home LAN" and ping any website (example: can be google.com)

Objective:

The objective of this project is to demonstrate your ability to capture live packets using Wireshark and analyze the data. As a networking professional, the ability to diagnose network problems using tools, such as Wireshark, is essential and necessary. This project will also enable you to apply your TCP/IP networking knowledge gained from this class in a real world scenario.

Instructions:

Obtain a copy of Wireshark (if you don't have one).

Turn the capture on.

Issue a ping command from your command prompt. Example would be ping google.com

Requirements:

1. Describe the exact packet capture that you are analyzing. A paragraph worth of explanation is needed to clearly state the problem statement and the objective.

2. Draw a diagram that illustrates the layers of encapsulation for your captured packet.

3.Your entire packet capture (1 of them) should be included as a HEX string value (Refer to the extra credit problem from the Midterm for an example of a packet HEX string. Note that you cannot use the HEX dump from the Midterm for this project. You must capture your own packet using Wireshark).

4. Captured packet (in HEX) should be color-coded and clearly labeled to show which color indicates which layer of encapsulation. If you do not have a color printer, you can use a color highlighter (Different colors for different parts of the packet capture). Indicate which color corresponds to which encapsulation.

5.Each part of the Ethernet frame should be described. Destination addr, Source addr, type, payload, and CRC (if any). Depending on the version of your Wireshark, you may or may not see CRC value at the end of an Ethernet Frame.

6. Each part of the IP packet should be identified.

7. The IP header should be decoded with all values clearly stated. HEX values should be decoded in decimal.

8. The payload of an IP packet should be identified (UDP, TCP, ICMP, etc.)

9.Your work MUST be neat, clearly organized, and easy to follow. Avoid ambiguities and don't leave anything for me to assume.

10.Your work must be your own. I will know because each MAC address is unique as well as some other values in each header. You are required to attach the actual HEX output capture from Wireshark.
