In today's world, networks are essential to the functioning of businesses, organizations, and individuals. The proper functioning of these networks is of utmost importance, and identifying issues within them can be difficult. This is where Wireshark comes into play. Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer that allows users to see what is happening on their networks at a microscopic level. It has become the de facto standard for network analysis across many industries and educational institutions.
This course serves as an introduction to Wireshark and covers its latest release. It aims to guide users through the fundamentals of network terminologies, teach them how to use Wireshark for network analysis, and show them how to utilize its various features. The course starts with a quick introduction to Wireshark and how it captures and analyzes protocol packets. It then moves on to cover the various TCP/IP layers and important network communication techniques.
The course also covers the creation and usage of Wireshark filters, which are essential in capturing data using various network protocol techniques. Analyzing and troubleshooting networks is a critical component of network analysis, and this course aims to equip users with the necessary skills to do so effectively.
By the end of the course, students will have gained the confidence to use Wireshark for their network analysis tasks on a day-to-day basis. They will have learned to identify network issues, create filters to capture data, and analyze and troubleshoot their networks. With this knowledge, they can better manage their networks, ensuring the proper functioning of their business, organization, or individual needs.
