- [Instructor] Wireshark Essential Training
is an intermediate-level course for network administrators,
students, teachers, and anyone with an interest
in learning about packet analysis
and the importance of understanding and identifying
the traffic on your network to troubleshoot,
identify latency issues,
and actively identify network attacks.
We'll use Wireshark, a free protocol analysis tool,
and we'll use precaptured files from online repositories.
I'll be walking you through the basics,
so no previous experience with Wireshark is necessary.
We'll examine packet captures
and understand the field values of the protocol
as to what is considered normal behavior.
A high-level knowledge of networking technology will clarify
some of the concepts discussed in this course.
However, if you have a basic understanding of networking
terms and concepts, and an interest in the subject,
you should be able to easily follow along with the lessons.
