Network Traffic Analysis Training:

Network Traffic Analysis Training Course (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live!)

Network Traffic Analysis Training will teach you to differentiate between normal and abnormal network traffic, track the flow of packets through a network, and attribute conversations and actions taken over a network segment to specific hosts or users.

This Network Traffic Analysis course focuses on research, filtering, and comparative analysis to identify and attribute the different types of activity on a network. You will learn how to follow conversations across a wide range of protocols and through redirection, as well as how to develop custom filters for non-dissected protocols. On Day 5 of the course, you will participate in a team-based capture-the-flag exercise to test your new skills.

Learn how to differentiate between normal and abnormal network traffic, track the flow of packets through a network, and attribute conversations and actions taken over a network segment to specific hosts or users.

Customize It:

• If you are familiar with some aspects of Network Traffic Analysis Training, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
• We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the Network Traffic Analysis Training course around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
• If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the Network Traffic Analysis course in manner understandable to lay audiences.

Objectives:

After completing this Network Traffic Analysis course, attendees will be able to:

• Create a baseline of the protocols, hosts, and interactions in a network environment
• Identify anomalous network traffic using a combination of in-depth packet analysis and high-level statistical analysis
• Reconstruct event timelines and accurately correlate, or distinguish between, event threads
• Identify and extract network artifacts for further forensic analysis
• Compare observed network traffic to expected topology
• Research and analyze unknown (non-dissected) protocols
• Track web activity at the user or session level via HTTP header analytics
