Preface

The purpose of this book is to identify, learn about, and solve issues related to protocol, network, and security, and see how Wireshark helps to analyze these patterns by allowing its features to troubleshoot effectively. This book has lab exercises and contains packet capture files for offline viewing and analyses. Most of the examples contain production-like scenarios and their solutions and steps to reproduce these solutions.

This book also contains effective capturing methods that can be used directly in production without installing Wireshark.

Wireshark is an awesome tool for troubleshooting and learning, and within the scope of this book, we have taken the best use cases for different types of audiences, such as network administrators, security auditors, protocol learners, and troubleshooters.
