Network Traffic Analysis
This is an advanced level course that will utilize instructor-led classroom lecture and discussion in conjunction with hands-on computer lab exercises designed to introduce students to Network analysis tools, and then allow students to use the tools in a real world environment. Students will learn how to conduct traffic analysis on their internal networks by taking a “deep-dive” into network traffic analysis using Wireshark and other tools to identify regular and anomalous network traffic. Techniques taught will prepare students to identify network attacks by context and type. Students will gain knowledge about network traffic types, how to identify attacks against their networks, and how to identify internal hazards.
