is it the software? or am i missing something here? im trying a simple test: i start a packet capture then go to a website where i am prompted via HTTP authentication to enter a username and password. i stop the capture and view the packets hoping to actually see where the username was sent. i cant find it. i search for a text string and look for the username and it DOES say it is found and highlights the packet. but when i expand all parts of the packet i still dont find it! can someone please help with a simple answer? or should i purchase different software for my company?
 
please respond to: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
thank you in advance
