binwalk VS Wireshark

https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/wiki/Quick-Start-Guide here's how to extract firmware

If you can get them attached to something, I wouldn’t bother trying to mount then, just dump the contents and use something inker binwalk to figure things out and see if it can extract things.

With that said, I'll repeat what i said last post, run binwalker on the image. Nothing that anyone is saying here is probably going to work because that doesn't have any features of an FS image

Op, run binwalk. Don't just run it though an hex editor, you won't understand anything. It's a forensics tool to analyze unknown binary blobs (much better than gitbash that someone mentioned). It can also unpack these files automatically, there's no better universal tool for it

Not sure if it would be easier or not, but you could also use binwalk to find a binary string in a file.

Not true, it's still not patched. See https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/pull/617

Looks nice! Kind of reminds me of binwalk: https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk

To begin with Wireshark, visit their official website for the download. The installation process is straightforward, but attention should be paid to the installation of command-line tools, which may require separate steps. Upon launching Wireshark, users are greeted with a selection of network interfaces as seen below. Choosing the correct interface, such as the loopback for local server debugging, is crucial for capturing relevant data.

Wireshark

If you're very curious as to what is really going on under the hood, I recommend you familiarize yourself with port mirroring for your switch platform of choice, and then use a laptop in promiscuous mode to capture traffic using Wireshark. Failing that, hire a network engineer to interview one of their sales engineers or architects, and have them explain it to you.

You should do a hands fins-on lab with Wireshark.

A great way to test the effectiveness of a pinning implementation is by simulating an MITM attack. Tools like Mitmproxy or Wireshack allow us to create a test environment to monitor, intercept, and proxy network requests for a test host.

They even have a nice comment explaining the heuristic: https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark/blob/ef9c79ae81b00a63...

     * Heuristics to detect the WireGuard protocol:

This has been put together for Wireshark, starting on line 1520 https://github.com/wireshark/wireshark/blob/master/epan/dissectors/packet-cip.c

Obviously based on the question you know the answer is a Wireshark-like software and it boils down to how you classify Wireshark. My issue is that Wikipedia refers to it as a Packet Analyzer, Varonis refers to it as a Packet Sniffer, Wireshark refers to itself as a Network Protocol Analyzer, Kali documentation refers to it as a Network Sniffer, Wireshark's README refers to itself as a Network Analyzer OR Sniffer...
