The realities of modern traffic analysis require interpreting encrypted network traffic correctly. A detailed knowledge of how key protocols such as HTTP can provide valuable insights into what is happening in a suspect traffic capture. This workshop provides an introduction to techniques for the evaluation of encrypted traffic using open-source tools such as Wireshark to provide insight into the following areas:
- Specialized software configuration and new Wireshark Profiles to make Analysis faster
- Encryption techniques, including SSL / TLS / WEP / WPA.x
- Specialized encrypted traffic analysis techniques using Wireshark 4.x
- Specialized filtering and Analysis techniques, including data traffic reconstruction and viewing
- Recognition, analysis, and threat recognition for many of the following generation user protocol issues, including DHCPv6, IPv6/Ipv10, ICMPv6, SCTP/DCCP/RUDP, DNSSec/MDNS/DDNS/LLMNR, Email Protocols (POP / SMTP / IMAP), and standard Internet-based User Protocols such as HTTP2/HTTP3/QUIC
The course uses Real-world examples and numerous hands-on exercises to provide field-proven, practical analysis skills. Attendees receive a student guide, including numerous reference files, Networking and forensics tools, and a library of reference documents.
