What you'll do

In this lab, you will capture network traffic and perform network analysis on the captured communications.

  1. Capture network traffic by using tcpdump, including displaying captured data, controlling name lookups during capture, using capture filters, and saving a capture to a file
  2. Analyze a tcpdump pcap file by using Wireshark, including using display filters, following TCP streams, following HTTP streams, and searching for string content in the capture

Note: Once you begin the lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the lab before you start.
