An engineer must investigate suspicious connections. Data has been gathered using a tcpdump command on a Linux device and saved as sandboxmalware2022-12-22.pcaps file. The engineer is trying to open the tcpdump in the Wireshark tool. What is the expected result?

Wireshark is a widely used network protocol analyzer that supports various capture file formats, including those generated by tcpdump. The .pcap extension is a standard format for packet capture files and is fully supported by Wireshark. The file extension or the inclusion of characters such as "-" in the file name does not impact Wireshark's ability to open and read the file. When the engineer opens the sandboxmatware2022-12-22.pcaps file in Wireshark, the tool will read the packet capture data, allowing for detailed analysis of network traffic.
