Wireshark - Audit and performance




Wireshark enables regular, in-depth analysis of networks to identify potential problems. In this course, you'll learn how to use Wireshark to check protocols. Once the information has been captured, it can be consulted on the program's graphical interface or via the ATS tshark mode.

At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Understanding network flow analysis
Filter and analyze network activity
How to produce reports
Use Wireshark to diagnose network performance problems

Intended audience
System administrators, network administrators and developers.

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of TCP/IP.

Practical details
Teaching methods
Training alternates theory and practice. A great deal of practical work is carried out throughout the course.

Course schedule

1
A reminder of the basics

  • Communication methods (unicast, multicast, broadcast).
  • Topologies and access control. OSI model.
  • Ethernet frame format. Size and meaning (Runt, Giant...) and the ARP protocol.returnchariot
  • Layer 2 protocols (802.3, 802.1p, 802.1q, 802.1ad). Layer 2 multicast.
  • IP packet format.
  • Special addresses (loopback). Multicast addresses (known addresses), broadcast method.returnchariot
  • ICMP protocol (role and response analysis).

2
The Wireshark screen

  • Toolbar.
  • Filter zone.
  • Package display area.
  • Area displaying the contents of the selected package in hexadecimal.
  • Status bar (accesses expert mode, annotations, displays number of packets captured and current profile).

3
Analysis tasks with Wireshark

  • Capture network communications in "clear text" (e.g. Telnet, HTTP).
  • Check which applications are used by which hosts.
  • Define a reference point for network communication.
  • Check that certain network services are working properly.
  • Identify who wants to connect to the wireless network.
  • Capture unexpected traffic. Capture and analyze host or network traffic.
  • View and reassemble files transferred via FTP or HTTP. View and listen to VoIP communications.

4
Troubleshooting with Wireshark

  • Identify abnormal delays.
  • Identify TCP problems.
  • Detect HTTP problems.
  • Detect application errors.
  • Generate graphs.
  • Identify saturated buffer problems.
  • Detect duplicate IP address problems.
  • Identify problems with the DHCP protocol or DHCP relay.

5
Security analysis tasks

  • Detect applications using non-standard ports.
  • Identify traffic coming from or going to a suspect host.
  • Identify machines trying to obtain an IP address.
  • Identify a recognition process on the network.
  • Locate and map external addresses.
  • Examine a TCP or UDP conversation between a client and a server.
  • Locate known attack signatures on your network.
