Wireshark, a combination of a Linux distro (Kali) and an open source security framework (Metasploit), is a popular and powerful tool mainly used to analyze the bits and bytes that flow through a network. It efficiently deals with the different layers of network protocols, from the second through to the seventh layer, and the analysis is presented in an easy-to-read form.

This book helps you gain the expertise you need to effectively secure your network. You'll start by installing and setting up Wireshark2.0, and then move on to exploring its interface to understand all its functionalities. Next, you will discover different ways to create, use, capture, and display filters. As you progress, you will master Wireshark's features, analyze different layers of the network protocol, and search for anomalies. The book will even guide you through the plugins and APIs in depth. Finally, you'll focus on packet analysis for security tasks, command-line utilities, and tools that manage trace files.

By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with the skills you need to use Wireshark for network security analysis, and configure it for troubleshooting purposes.
