In order to understand how network packets stick together, forming a stream of traffic, we need to understand the basics of the networking that is the TCP/IP model. Protocols govern the transmission of network packets/segments/frames over a communication channel between endpoints. The world of network communication is governed by a set of protocols (rules and regulations) in order to function as intended. You will look at network security packet analysis, command-line utilities, and other advanced tools that will come in handy when working with day-to-day network operations.īy the end of this book, you have enough skill with Wireshark 2 to overcome real-world network challenges. As you make your way through the chapters, you will discover different ways to analyse network traffic through creation and usage of filters and statistical features.

This book will start from the basics of setting up your Wireshark environment and will walk you through the fundamentals of networking and packet analysis. This book takes you from the basics of the Wireshark environment to detecting and resolving network anomalies. it lets you see what's going on in your network at a granular level.


Wireshark is mainly used to analyze network traffic, analyse network issues, analyse protocol behaviour, etc. Currently being developed and maintained by volunteer contributions of networking experts from all over the globe. Wireshark is an open source protocol analyser, commonly used among the network and security professionals.
