Complete Guide to Network Analysis with Wireshark 2.6

Wireshark is the world's foremost & most widely-used network protocol analyzer, which helps you monitor activities on your network at a microscopic level. It is also used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software, and communications protocol development.

With this hands-on practical course, you'll start with basics of wireshark to analyze data and solve problems which primarily focus on enhancing your network analysis and web traffic capture skills to build a strong secure foundation. Then you will be trained on Wireshark and TCP/IP communications analysis to identify the most common causes of performance problems in TCP/IP communications. Moving further, you'll be introduce to a command line-version of Wireshark which is tshark. Next, you will also learn about various types of network cyber attack and essential remedies & troubleshooting your network using Wireshark.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.
