Wireshark for Packet Capture: Analyze web traffic

О курсе

Master the fundamentals of network traffic analysis and web communication using Wireshark in this beginner-friendly guided project. Through hands-on activities, you’ll explore Wireshark’s interface, capture and filter network traffic, and analyze critical network protocols like HTTP and DNS. You’ll examine real-world packet captures to interpret HTTP requests and responses, measure DNS response times, and identify performance bottlenecks or security risks. By isolating specific traffic flows with filtering techniques, you’ll gain insights into network behavior and potential anomalies. This project is ideal for aspiring network engineers, cybersecurity professionals, or IT enthusiasts looking to build a strong foundation in packet analysis. The recommended background for this project is a basic understanding of networking concepts, such as IP addressing, and familiarity with network communication protocols like HTTP and DNS. By the end of this project, you’ll have the skills to capture and analyze network traffic effectively, troubleshoot basic network issues, and detect unusual patterns that could indicate misconfigurations or security threats. These skills will prepare you to optimize network performance and contribute to a secure and well-monitored network environment.
