After that, students review both normal and abnormal communication patterns of the TCP/IP suite and most common applications, including DHCP, DNS, FTP, Telnet, HTTP, POP, and SMTP.

• WV125: Troubleshooting and Securing TCP/IP Networks with Wireshark

  This lab-based course helps students prepare for the Wireshark Certification Exam. In this course, students learn how to effectively troubleshoot and secure a TCP/IP network by analyzing network traffic with Wireshark. The first half of the course explores techniques to analyze traffic on poorly performing TCP/IP networks using Wireshark, the world's most popular analyzer. After that, students learn to identify reconnaissance processes on the network and indications that a host is compromised.
