Appreciating traffic analysis
- [Lisa] Did you know that being able to understand what's on the network is considered a superpower? It's true. Packet analysis helps you to understand the traffic on your network so you can identify latency issues and actively monitor the network for attacks. In this course, I'll provide an overview and benefits of traffic capture. I'll cover how to download and install on a PC or a Mac. Then we'll explore the Wireshark interface. I'll cover how to tap into the data stream and use display and capture filters. I'll review the OSI model and encapsulation. Then we'll do a deep packet analysis of common protocols, such as TCP, IP and DNS. I'll finish with working with the expert system and how to troubleshoot network latency issues. Hello, my name is Lisa Bock and I'm a security ambassador. I'm super excited to bring you this course on Wireshark so that you can improve your skills in packet analysis. Are you ready? Let's get started.
