Sessions
The packet stories are back with a few new cases from my work as an independent troubleshooter!
To be the network or not to be the network, that's the question!
This is a question we face a lot. The network is blamed by default, but is it really the network. During this session a couple of real life cases will be presented. What was the problem, how was it analyzed, what can we learn about the process and off course the answer to the question: was it the network?
We have all heard (and used) the phrase "Packets don't lie". We live by this mantra. And of course, packets do give evidence to the cause of sometimes complex issues. But as in evidence in criminal cases, this evidence is also subject to how it was taken and from which point of view.
This presentation will lay out many ways in which packets might not tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
It is a time honored tradition at SharkFest, that attendees sit together in teams and solve a packet challenge as a team.
In this presentation we will walk you through this year's group packet challenge.
