Summary

Congratulation on completing this chapter and the book. So far, we have seen how Wireshark helps to analyze network protocols such as TCP/IP, DHCPv6, DHCP, and HTTP. We carried out a detailed analysis of the SSL/TLS protocol and WLAN setup capture; then we explored security-related issues and their mitigation plans. We also tried to be as practical as we can, and provided some real-time use case scenarios and their mitigation plans.

In this book, we have also emphasized other effective tools for capturing the packets, such as tcpdump and snoop. You should now be able to go forward and start analyzing other protocols not covered in this book by using it as a reference.
