Therefore, there is no need to bother about the date and time of the time stamp unless you must make sure that the date and time are as expected. If we get a capture file from a different time zone or DST, in that case, we need to find out the difference between the local time zone and that time zone or DST and manually adjust the time stamp accordingly.
Time Zones in Wireshark
A Time Zone is a region on earth that is bound by longitudinal lines or in simpler words a geographical region having the same standard time. These lines sometimes called meridians that run vertically from the north to the South Pole each 15° apart. These meridians divide the earth into 24 different time zones having a local time that corresponds to the sunset in that zone.
