Network Analysis with Wireshark and Nmap
Four weeks on seeing and mapping a network you are responsible for
A four-week classroom course built on the Wireshark User's Guide and the Nmap reference guide: capturing and filtering traffic, working with captured packets, statistics, then host discovery, port scanning, service, version and OS detection, the Nmap Scripting Engine and reading scan output. All captures and scans are run on the classroom's lab network, and the course opens with why you scan only what you have permission to scan. This course prepares for no exam.
