Solve network problems and improve your understanding of network protocols by learning Wireshark from an expert.
What you’ll learn
- Determine the source of network problems over nearly any protocol.
-
Understand Wireshark’s filtering language and use it to separate signal from noise.
-
Use Wireshark to improve your understanding of network protocols.
- Master techniques that allow you to find errors in proprietary protocol implementations.
- Implement capture methods that maximize the valid data captured while minimizing clutter.
- Use RFC’s to decode what you see in the protocol details.
Requirements
- You need to have a solid understanding of general networking, including a basic understanding of IP, ARP, and TCP.
- A system that you can install and run Wireshark on is helpful, but not absolutely required.
Description
Protocol analysis is a complicated, and often intimidating, subject. Many engineers, even ones with significant experience, feel powerless and lost when confronted with the sea of data that a network capture can provide. Most courses approach this problem with more overload; diving into each menu item and option with detailed explanations. But when you get done with those courses, you still find yourself wondering “How do I actually use this stuff to resolve problems?” This course is different- How to install Wireshark to both take and view captures
- How to take the best possible captures, maximizing signal and reducing noise
- How to filter captures using both individual and combined filtering, to arrive at the exact information you need
- Advanced techniques like comparison captures and ring buffering to diagnose complex corner cases
- How to use RFCs to understand the function of the protocols you are examining
- How to use captures to troubleshoot both common and complex problems, such as TCP retransmissions and Black Hole routers
- Direct access to the instructor
- Updated content
- A certificate of completion
- 30-day, money-back guarantee
Who this course is for:
- Network administrators, network engineers, and programmers who want to improve thier ability to diagnose problems and extend thier protocol-level knowledge using Wireshark.
