Nag,
I'm not sure what you mean by your question. Capturing packets is for the most part passive, in that you are saving packets to a file for viewing. Wireshark does not propagate packets to the rest of the network, no matter how virus laden they are. (Certainly as long as those packets are not specially crafted to maybe exploit a vulnerability in wireshark itself, which while it ihas been done, is very very rarely actually seen in the wild).
Regards, Martin

Hi,
Is there a way to capture packets from/to a selected list of IP address on a LAN?
The need is to restrict the packet capturing to a set of machines so that security breach does not happen on other machines on the same
network.
Please let me know if you have any other mechanism to satisfy this need.
Kind regards,
Nag.
