Chapter 8: Real World Packet Captures

 < Day Day Up > 



Introduction

Now that you have learned about Ethereal, how it works, and how to use it, you are armed and ready to read real network packet captures. In this chapter we discuss real world packet captures and traffic that you could be seeing on your network. You will learn how to read the captures, what to look for, and how to identify various types of network traffic. The Honeynet Project at http://project.honeynet.org provided some of the packet capture data in this chapter, which we have included on the accompanying CD-ROM in the /captures directory. They have a great challenge called Scan of the Month that will exercise your capture analysis abilities.
