In Wireshark, a rule that controls which captured packets are shown for inspection without discarding any data from the capture file is known as a _____ filter.
Answer
display
Explanation
### Why this is right
The lesson describes filtering a capture to show only HTTP traffic, which can help locate relevant requests and responses. Filters reduce the amount of displayed information without changing the purpose of the capture.
### The concept
Network captures can contain large volumes of packets from different protocols. A display filter helps focus inspection on a selected subset, such as HTTP traffic. In the exercise, filtering HTTP requests supports finding a request that contains an image object for export.
### Terms
- **HTTP**: Hypertext Transfer Protocol, a protocol used for web requests and responses.
- **Display filter**: a Wireshark rule that controls which captured packets are shown for inspection.
### Remember
Filter a large capture to focus on the packets relevant to your question.
