Practical Packet Analysis: Using Wireshark to Solve Real-World Network Problems
It's easy enough to install Wireshark and begin capturing
packets off the wire--or from the air. But how do you
interpret those packets once you've captured them? And how
can those packets help you to better understand what's going
on under the hood of your network? Practical Packet Analysis
shows how to use Wireshark to capture
and then analyze
packets as you take an indepth look at real-world packet
analysis and network troubleshooting. The way the pros do
it.
Wireshark (derived from the Ethereal project), has become
the world's most popular network sniffing application. But
while Wireshark comes with documentation, there's not a
whole lot of information to show you how to use it in
real-world scenarios. Practical Packet Analysis shows you
how to:
Use packet analysis to tackle common network problems, such
as loss of connectivity, slow networks, malware infections,
and more
Build customized capture and display filters
Tap into live network communication
Graph traffic patterns to visualize the data flowing across
your network
Use advanced Wireshark features to understand confusing
packets
Build statistics and reports to help you better explain
technical network information to non-technical users
Because net-centric computing requires a deep understanding
of network communication at the packet level, Practical
Packet Analysis is a must have for any network technician,
administrator, or engineer troubleshooting network problems
of any kind.
