Assignment:
- Today we will start working with Wireshark – a powerful packet collection and analysis tool that is free to download and pre-installed in the Kali Linux distribution.
- Watch Professor Messer’s Wireless Packet Analysis video and read Lifewire.com’s How to Use Wireshark: A Complete Tutorial to get a basic idea of how the Wireshark interface works, and a few tips on how you can configure the Wireshark GUI to meet your specific needs and preferences.
- We will be using this and other videos to gain a familiarity with the Wireshark environment, and look at the methods and construction of network packets, so we can begin to develop “the eye” for packet formation and transmission anomalies.
