Wireshark is a free network protocol analyzer used to inspect and understand network traffic in detail. This hands-on course provides a comprehensive introduction to using Wireshark for network troubleshooting and protocol analysis. The content is also focused on the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for the WCNA exam.

The program is an intensive, advanced TCP/IP course that examines protocol behavior in detail according to the relevant RFCs. Particular attention is given to TCP and network performance. For this reason, the course is intended for participants who already understand TCP/IP fundamentals rather than those who are completely new to the subject.

Participants are expected to be comfortable with addressing and general TCP/IP configuration concepts. Hands-on sessions use Wireshark for practical protocol analysis across a wide range of network scenarios.

Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisite courses. However, participants should already have a good understanding of how IP networking works.

A TCP/IP foundation-level course may be useful for learners who want to strengthen their background before attending.

What You Will Learn

By the end of the course, participants should be able to:

  • Analyze packets and protocols in detail.
  • Troubleshoot network issues using Wireshark.
  • Identify performance problems through Wireshark analysis.
  • Perform network forensics using captured traffic.
