Description
Tactical Wireshark Intrusion Analysis & Malware Forensics
Course Overview
Tactical Wireshark – A Deep Dive into Intrusion Analysis, Malware Incidents, and Extraction of Forensic Evidence (2023) is a hands-on, analyst-focused training program built for cybersecurity practitioners, SOC analysts, digital forensics investigators, and incident responders. This course goes far beyond basic packet capture, teaching you how to use Wireshark tactically during live attacks, post-incident investigations, and malware outbreaks.
You will learn how attackers communicate over networks, how malicious traffic differs from normal behavior, and how to uncover hidden indicators of compromise (IOCs). By working with real traffic samples, you will develop the skills needed to reconstruct attacker timelines, extract files from packet captures, and produce legally defensible forensic evidence.
What You Will Learn
- Advanced Wireshark filtering and display techniques for intrusion analysis
- Identifying malware command-and-control (C2) traffic patterns
- Detecting data exfiltration and lateral movement within networks
- Extracting files, credentials, and artifacts from packet captures
- Reconstructing attacker behavior for incident response reports
- Applying forensic methodologies aligned with modern cyber investigations
