Description:

This course explores the use of TCPDUMP and Wireshark protocol analyzer to perform network analyses for communications troubleshooting and forensics investigations. The material offers real-world examples and interactive Hands-On Projects that reinforce key concepts and important monitoring and management tools. These materials have been specifically designed to prepare individuals to take an active role in administering a network infrastructure that uses TCP/IP, either as its only protocol suite or in concert with other protocol suites. Course topics include the fundamentals and advanced topics in TCP/IP, live captures and offline analysis of hundreds of protocols, and troubleshooting, optimizing, and securing a network based on the evidence found in captured network traffic. Course activities include hands-on lab exercises using real-world scenarios that put theory into practice. This course also includes voluminous protocol trace files that demonstrate what TCP/IP-based network infrastructure looks like and how to recognize, analyze, and troubleshoot a broad range of TCP/IP-related networking problems or phenomena. Prerequisite(s): INET 1101 with a grade of C or higher or instructor consent.
