This guided project, Wireshark for Beginners TCP/IP Protocol Fundamentals, will help a beginning security analyst who is looking to use Wireshark to analyze Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP ) network packets through the use of HTTP and HTTPS requests in order to understand the protocol. In this 1.5-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to capture and save packets on a physical wired network, create a display filter to observe TCP/IP packets on a certain port, observe HTTP and HTTPS TCP/IP protocol, and identify the TCP/IP protocol stack.
To achieve this, you will be taking on the role of helping an IT manager who wants to monitor web traffic on the server in order to verify websites visited are exhibiting proper TCP/IP behavior. In order to be successful in this project, you will need some basic Linux Command Line Usage, specifically running commands from the Linux command line, and some exposure to Computer Networks, specifically general knowledge of how a client browser sends HTTP requests to a web server.
In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:
Start a packet capture on the wired ethernet port and save it to file.
Use a display filter to observe the Internet Layer of TCP/IP network traffic.
Observe the TCP/IP packet Three Way Handshake using an HTTP application.
Practice Task: Start a Wireshark capture and observe HTTP TCP/IP packet protocol 3-way handshake.
Observe the TCP/IP packet protocol using an HTTP application.
Observe the TCP/IP packet protocol using an HTTPS application.
Capstone Task: Use Wireshark's display filter to identify the fundamental attributes of TCP/IP packets.
