Sessions
Wireshark has become an omnipresent tool in the realms of IT, OT, IoT, and cybersecurity.
Recognizing that today's higher education students rely less on textbooks and more on dynamic learning experiences, educators must adapt and develop innovative methods to effectively engage students and help them achieve their aims.
The goal of this presentation is to flatten the learning curve of network packet analysis. By using captures within the learner’s living space, we can teach necessary skills and gain insights without much overhead. In addition, the particular communication behaviour of smart devices (lights, television, vacuum cleaner, Xbox, doorbell, pet cam, … ) is often unknown to many people.
The objective of this interactive session is to provide participants with ideas on harnessing Wireshark's capabilities for their own activities while showcasing its usage in higher education and research endeavours.
