Network & Host Analysis: Protocol Analysis

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Wireshark is the de facto tool for network protocol analysis. The ability to live capture, deeply inspect, filter, decrypt, and export network data comprises Wireshark's feature-rich capabilities. In this course, you'll examine the vital elements of network protocol analysis and learn how to reap the benefits of Wireshark's features. You'll start by exploring some common network analysis patterns. You'll then outline the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model. Next, you'll differentiate between passive and active network scanning. Moving on, you'll use Wireshark to capture and filter network traffic and customize packet capturing. Finally, you'll use Wireshark to save and then export packet captures, apply highlighting rules, extract files, configure profiles, apply display filters, and implement advanced capture and display filtering.
