E-Books →Network Forensics with Wireshark Build Practical Expertise in Network Monitoring, Threat Detection

Key Features
● Decode and analyze network packets using Wireshark.
● Detect malware, and covert channel attacks in live traffic.
● Decrypt SSL/TLS traffic, and trace attacks end-to-end.
Book Description
In today's digital world, Wireshark stands as the most powerful tool for uncovering what truly happens on a network.
Network Forensics with Wireshark will take you through a structured, hands-on journey - from grasping the basics of TCP/IP communication to advanced forensic analysis. Beginning with how data flows across networks, readers will learn to capture and interpret packets, identify anomalies, and analyze encrypted traffic through SSL/TLS decryption. As the book progresses, it dives into detecting malware behavior, tracing covert channel attacks, and understanding how attackers exploit vulnerabilities across evolving network architectures. Each concept is reinforced with practical exercises and real-world case studies, helping readers apply theory to investigation.
So, whether you are a student, network engineer, or cybersecurity professional, this book empowers you to analyze smarter, respond faster, and transform data into actionable security insight.
