Like you, Chris likes digging into packet captures to figure out how things work. When he is not teaching people the art of packet analysis in live courses, YouTube videos, or at conference seminars, you can find him in the packet trenches with clients from all over the world. Chris has been attending and speaking at Sharkfest since 2011 and enjoys learning new things right alongside attendees of all experience levels.

Pre-conference class I: Core Wireshark Skills for Network Engineers and Security Pros
Ross Bagurdes, Chris Greer

Wireshark can be intimidating.

We remember how it felt when we first started looking at a trace file with Wireshark. Questions started flooding into our minds:

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!
