Wireshark for Security: Detect Network Anomalies

Enhance your network security skills using Wireshark to detect and analyze network anomalies. In this intermediate guided project, you’ll explore Wireshark's powerful packet-capturing features to identify suspicious activities and potential cyber threats. In practice, you will learn to capture traffic, save it, and filter out a specific flow based on specific criteria. Gain hands-on experience with real-time traffic analysis, anomaly detection techniques, and basic networking security principles. This project is ideal for network engineers and cybersecurity professionals aiming to bolster their network defense capabilities. The recommended background for this project is a basic understanding of networking concepts, and familiarity with network protocols and traffic flow (e.g. HTTP, TCP, UDP, etc.). By the end, you’ll be proficient in identifying unusual patterns and enhancing your organization’s security posture.
