In my last blog (Wireshark Custom Columns) I provided you information on customizing your Wireshark interface depending on the problem you are troubleshooting. These custom profiles are extremely helpful in providing the needed information for troubleshooting the vast range of issues you will encounter. As you increase your effectiveness as a analyst you will undoubtedly be called to
Apalytics’ discusses the role accurate documentation plays in a proactive approach to solving critical Network/System problems. Automated tools can greatly reduce the pain inherent in the creation and maintenance of the documentation used in the Critical Problem Resolution process, and why adding one more tool just might be a good idea. Firefighters implement a proactive
To effectively troubleshoot network traffic, you must be able to extract key information points from the trace files. However, Wireshark – a free and widely-used protocol analyzer – provides by default only very limited views into your trace files. So, to get what you need from this tool, it’s often necessary to create custom views
Each “Syn”-chronize starts with a random sequence number. It’s actually referencing the first Byte reference point. If a session starts at 2124170689 and the last Byte sent in the session is 2124171689 then the session has sent a total of 1000 bytes during its lifetime. If a session sends more than 4GB it will wrap
