Throughout this course, we are going to look at real-world examples of how to practically use Wireshark to solve network problems and isolate cybersecurity incidents. This skill will help AllOps (NetOps, SecOps, DevOps) engineers to improve in their analysis and troubleshooting skills. Labs have been designed to give real-world, hands-on experience with protocols using Wireshark.
Wireshark can be intimidating. I remember how it felt when I first started looking at a trace file with Wireshark. Questions started flooding into my mind: What should I look for? Where do I start? How can I find the packets that matter? What filters should I use? What is 'normal' and what can I ignore in all this data? I froze under the weight of all the detail in the packets. If you have ever felt that way when looking at a pcap, this is the course for you!
Ross has had a diverse career in engineering, beginning as a structural engineer, then project engineer for a gas utility, Ross was always quickly assigned the de-facto network administrator, typically after no one else was brave enough to break, and later fix, the network. Ross eventually ended up working as a network engineer designing and implementing enterprise networks for a major university hospital. Here he worked with Extreme Networks, HP, Cisco, Tipping Point, among other network technology, as well as honed his Wireshark and protocol analysis skills. Ross spent 7 years teaching data networking at Madison College, and in 2017 started authoring and producing IT training videos in Wireshark/Protocol Analysis, Cisco, and general networking topics for www.Pluralsight.com. In his free time, you'll find Ross and his dog at the beach swimming and surfing, traveling, hiking, or snowboarding somewhere in the western US.
