How do people use an oscilloscope to analyze USB packets and such? I saw a video by Ben Eater and the way he did it was by exposing the necessary wires of a USB cable and probing those. Is this standard or are there types out there that have this functionally built-in as some accessory or something?
Edit: logic analyzers are pretty interesting
Wireshark can do USB protocol analysis?????
Depends on how low level you need. If you're just looking at the data being sent, then Wireshark will work fine; I've even used it to help reverse engineer a UPS. If you're investigating interference/timing/collisions/whatever then you'd need a scope or logic analyser.
