Protect your network as you move from the basics of the Wireshark scenarios to detecting and resolving network anomalies.
Key Features
Learn protocol analysis, optimization and troubleshooting using Wireshark, an open source tool
Learn the usage of filtering and statistical tools to ease your troubleshooting job
Quickly perform root-cause analysis over your network in an event of network failure or a security breach
Book DescriptionWireshark is an open source protocol analyser, commonly used among the network and security professionals. Currently being developed and maintained by volunteer contributions of networking experts from all over the globe. Wireshark is mainly used to analyze network traffic, analyse network issues, analyse protocol behaviour, etc. - it lets you see what's going on in your network at a granular level. This book takes you from the basics of the Wireshark environment to detecting and resolving network anomalies.
This book will start from the basics of setting up your Wireshark environment and will walk you through the fundamentals of networking and packet analysis. As you make your way through the chapters, you will discover different ways to analyse network traffic through creation and usage of filters and statistical features. You will look at network security packet analysis, command-line utilities, and other advanced tools that will come in handy when working with day-to-day network operations.
By the end of this book, you have enough skill with Wireshark 2 to overcome real-world network challenges.
