Description
Most people learn Wireshark as a networking tool. This course teaches you to use it as a threat detection weapon. Every lesson is built around what a real SOC analyst actually does during an investigation — not theory, not dry demos, but practical packet analysis with real traffic scenarios.
What makes this course different?
This is the only Wireshark course on Udemy that includes AI-powered analysis. You will see how to connect Claude AI directly to Wireshark using an MCP server — so you can investigate traffic, identify top talkers, detect anomalies and analyze PCAPs just by asking questions in plain English. No memorizing filter syntax. Just results.
What you will learn:
How SOC analysts use Wireshark during real incident response
Display filters and capture filters for fast threat triage
TCP flags, session behavior and stream analysis
Protocol-level investigation — DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, FTP and ICMP
How to spot DNS tunneling, brute force patterns and suspicious sessions
How to connect Claude AI to Wireshark via MCP and query traffic in plain English
Who built this course?
Rajneesh Gupta and Jaimin Pathak are cybersecurity practitioner who builds real tools for SOC analysts — including the open source WiresharkMCP project on GitHub. This course comes directly from hands-on SOC experience, not textbooks.
Who this course is for:
- Freshers and students who want to break into cybersecurity and need hands-on packet analysis skills
- SOC analysts at level 1 who want to get faster and more confident with Wireshark during alert triage
- Cybersecurity enthusiasts who know networking basics but have never used Wireshark for threat detection
