Which bar runs across the bottom showing the location of the saved file, packet count, and active profile?

• A. Packet List Pane
• B. Status Bar
• C. Packet Bytes Pane
• D. Filter Toolbar

Answer: (B)

The bottom bar in Wireshark, the status bar, is where you see high-level capture information. It shows the location of the currently saved capture file, the total number of packets in the capture, and which profile is currently active. This bar updates as you save, capture more packets, or switch profiles, giving you a quick, at-a-glance understanding of your current session. The other panes have different roles: the Packet List Pane displays the list of packets with details for each row; the Packet Bytes Pane shows the hex and ASCII bytes of the selected packet; the Filter Toolbar is where you type display or capture filters. So the bottom status bar is the component that groups the file location, packet count, and active profile together.
