Mature and powerful, Wireshark is commonly used to find root cause of challenging network issues. This book extends that power to information security professionals, complete with a downloadable, virtual lab environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWireshark for Security Professionals\u003c\/i\u003e covers both offensive and defensive concepts that can be applied to essentially any InfoSec role. Whether into network security, malware analysis, intrusion detection, or penetration testing, this book demonstrates Wireshark through relevant and useful examples.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaster Wireshark through both lab scenarios and exercises. Early in the book, a virtual lab environment is provided for the purpose of getting hands-on experience with Wireshark. Wireshark is combined with two popular platforms: Kali, the security-focused Linux distribution, and the Metasploit Framework, the open-source framework for security testing. Lab-based virtual systems generate network traffic for analysis, investigation and demonstration. In addition to following along with the labs you will be challenged with end-of-chapter exercises to expand on covered material.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLastly, this book explores Wireshark with Lua, the light-weight programming language. Lua allows you to extend and customize Wireshark's features for your needs as a security professional. Lua source code is available both in the book and online. Lua code and lab source code are available online through GitHub, which the book also introduces. The book's final two chapters greatly draw on Lua and TShark, the command-line interface of Wireshark.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the end of the book you will gain the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaster the basics of Wireshark\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplore the virtual w4sp-lab environment that mimics a real-world network\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGain experience using the Debian-based Kali OS among other systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the technical details behind network attacks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExecute exploitation and grasp offensive and defensive activities, exploring them through Wireshark\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmploy Lua to extend Wireshark features and create useful scripts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo sum up, the book content, labs and online material, coupled with many referenced sources of PCAP traces, together present a dynamic and robust manual for information security professionals seeking to leverage Wireshark.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJESSEY BULLOCK\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Application Security Engineer with a game company.
