Wireshark Analysis Fundamentals
This lab teaches foundational packet analysis skills using Wireshark to investigate network traffic. You will analyze ICMP, TCP, HTTP, and TLS protocols by applying display filters, identifying connection patterns, and extracting forensic artifacts. Through hands-on exercises, you'll develop the core competencies SOC analysts need to investigate incidents and detect anomalous network behavior.
