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.

What is the purpose of this class?

This course fills the need for developing trained and experienced advanced network analysis personnel and introduces the field of Network Forensic analysis. By the end of this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to excel in your role and make significant contributions to your organization’s network security.

Target Audience:

Networking, Government, and Security personnel who need to develop advanced packet investigation techniques by studying the Next-Generation Networking Protocols using Wireshark. Completing this course provides these individuals with a pathway into network and forensics analysis.

Recommended Prerequisites:

Completion of WS 1 or equivalent Wireshark, network infrastructure, and protocol experience is required to ensure that all participants have a solid foundation in network analysis before diving into the advanced topics covered in this course.
