Wireshark Fundamentals

Everything on your network is having a conversation. Wireshark lets you read every word. In this session, we do a hands-on walkthrough — live capture, display filters, stream following, and protocol analysis in real time. Get your laptop out and follow along.

🎯 What We’ll Cover
– Starting your first live capture and making sense of what you see
– Display filters: ip.addr, tcp.port, http, dns — cutting through the noise
– Following TCP streams — reading the full conversation between two hosts
– Analyzing common protocols: HTTP, DNS, ICMP
– Mini challenge: capture and analyze a live ping in real time
