Chris Greer

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.

The Packet Doctors are in! Packet trace examinations with the experts
Ross Bagurdes, Sake Blok, Chris Greer

The experts on this panel have been asked to look at a trace file and help find a reason for certain behaviors by attendees at many SharkFests. Based on this, they’ve decided to create a public forum for examining individual trace files with a broader audience for a collective learning experience. Trace files will be gathered from attendees prior to SharkFest and only given to the panel members during the session so that the “not-
knowing what to expect and whether it can be solved” experience of working through an unknown trace file can be preserved.
Come to this session and learn to ask the right questions and look at packets in different ways.
PLEASE SEND PERPLEXING TRACE FILES FOR ANALYSIS BY THE PANEL TO [email protected] PRIOR TO SHARKFEST!
