Product Description
Product Description
It's easy to capture packets with Wireshark, the world's most popular network sniffer, whether off the wire or from the air. But how do you use those packets to understand what's happening on your network?
With an expanded discussion of network protocols and 45 completely new scenarios, this extensively revised second edition of the best-selling Practical Packet Analysis will teach you how to make sense of your PCAP data. You'll find new sections on troubleshooting slow networks and packet analysis for security to help you better understand how modern exploits and malware behave at the packet level. Add to this a thorough introduction to the TCP/IP network stack and you're on your way to packet analysis proficiency.
Learn how to:
- Use packet analysis to identify and resolve common network problems like loss of connectivity, DNS issues, sluggish speeds, and malware infections
- Build customized capture and display filters
- Monitor your network in real-time and tap live network communications
- Graph traffic patterns to visualize the data flowing across your network
- Use advanced Wireshark features to understand confusing captures
- Build statistics and reports to help you better explain technical network information to non-techies
Practical Packet Analysis is a must for any network technician, administrator, or engineer. Stop guessing and start troubleshooting the problems on your network.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is for use with Wireshark. The book is really easy to read and understand and it leaves you wanting more.
Although the book is more for beginners by the end of it you will feel like an expert!
Understanding network packets will help you to secure your system and see what is really flowing between your PC and the internet. You will become familiar with TCP/IP, ARP, DNS, DHCP, ICMP, SSL and many more acronyms.
The book is very well laid out with a good mixture of text and graphs/pics in fact it is so good that the book is bound with Otabind binding allowing it to easily lie flat when opened.
It comes with a downloadable zip file of capture examples for you to work through alongside with the book. I would highly recommend the actual book rather than a kindle version as the book is so well designed (you can of course re-sell the book but not your kindle version!).
This book is so good that you wish it was even more in-depth or that this author/publisher did a more in-depth book. Although there is a chapter on Wireless analysis it does not go into too much depth (and no the book does not tell you how to hack - but makes you aware of the hacking problems and how to check/see them) - so could have done with a longer chapter on WiFi.
Highly recommended as one of the best beginners guide to a subject that I have read.

Absolutely loved this book and it has changed how i approach network troubleshooting. I found working through the real life packet captures in the book cemented tcp/ip topics i'd previously read but not fully grasped in practice. At under 300 pages i was able to complete the book even with a busy schedule. I use the techniques within almost daily and highly recommend.

If you want to get an insight into the inner workings of your network, then this is the book is for you. Written in clear language, with good explanations, this book guides you through to intermediate level packet analysis techniques using Wireshark. Each protocol or scenario described has an associated packet capture file, helping you get hands on experience using Wireshark.

quite good introduction into the topic
Practical packet analysis is related, in fact, to a single product - Wireshark. Chris mentions other tools as well (in an Appendix), but he mostly focuses on this, particular tool. Read more
