Description of Learn Wireshark 3 in 5 Days: Wireshark Tutorial
Wireshark is the leading measuring device for deep packet inspection in today’s networks. This course teaches you how to use Wireshark like a pro, giving you the skills to monitor packets, troubleshoot network issues, and analyze data at the protocol level. You'll learn to install Wireshark, start capturing packets from a network interface, and interpret the packet details pane with confidence.
Through real examples and exercises, you'll capture traffic across ethernet, wireless, and virtual environments, using Wireshark filters and display tools. Whether you're inspecting IP addresses or identifying issues with servers and protocols, this tutorial breaks down complex concepts into practical, hands-on lessons. Learn to connect tools and systems, track down communication failures, and capture all the packets needed for effective network analysis.
- Install Wireshark on Windows and Linux systems
- Capture file creation and packet data extraction
- Filter traffic using expressions, buttons, and Wireshark’s main toolbar
- Analyze traffic from common protocols: HTTP, FTP, DNS, DHCP, ARP, SMTP
- Troubleshoot using SPAN ports, packet list view, and selected packet analysis
- Understand packet bytes, headers, and protocol fields
- Apply your skills in computer networks, security, and communication analysis
After completing this course, you won’t just rely on many tutorials—you’ll have the hands-on expertise to analyze packets captured across any network. You’ll understand each network protocol in detail, know where to find additional information when needed, and confidently sift through all the packets to troubleshoot and resolve real-world issues like a true network analysis expert.
Who Is This Course For
This course is for network administrators, system admins, cyber security professionals, and anyone who wants to learn Wireshark to gain visibility into computer networks. It’s also perfect for students studying protocols, packet data, or troubleshooting techniques.
