Hey, everyone, welcome to the
sniffing mini course here on
Siberry. My name is LBA and Albion
for the course.
So here in this course, we're going
to practice using Wireshark and
Tsipi done so to tools that
we use for sniffing now sniffing, if
you're not familiar with that, is
we're basically listening in
on a conversation.
So kind of like maybe in high school
or something. You were talking to
your boyfriend or girlfriend on the
phone. Your mom picked up the phone
in the kitchen and was listening in.
So that way when you said, hey,
yeah, I'll meet you at the party,
your mom started screaming at, you
say, no, you won't.
So am I.
Am I the only one that had to
happen? But anyways,
digress there a bit.
But basically sniffing is listening
in on a conversation, for lack of a
better word, sir.
And so we're going to be using two
tools of this course, Wireshark and
dump.
We're going to practice of using
filters, that sort of stuff, as well
as looking at the information that
we might actually find in a network
packet.
And as all a part of
that, we're going to do a lot of
hands on practice with those tools.
So that's kind of our main objective
here. It's a mini course.
So we're really just focused on a
hands on thing.
So the actually the only lecture
type of environment is going to be
this introduction as well as back in
the conclusion section.
Everything else in the course is
going to be a step by step lab as
well, as we mentioned, the capstone
lab that you'll want to do.
So some prerequisites that will
really, really help you with this
course of background in Linux
is going to be good, specifically
like a BUJU or even Calli,
a background in networking, so that
when I mention things like packett,
you know what I'm talking about, you
don't get confused there.
It's good to also have some
knowledge of operating system, just
kind of how they function, that sort
of stuff, and mostly just really
kind of navigation of how to double
click and and navigate your
way around different
operating systems like Windows
or Linux.
Hardware is good knowledge as well
to have basically your computer,
it type of knowledge, your basic
background there, like your help
desktop background that will benefit
you in this course.
And specifically, if you're going
for the council
certified ethical hacker team or the
committee of plus exam,
both those exams you'll actually see
like sniffing testing in some
capacity. So you'll definitely want
to know some Wireshark filters
and how to use Wireshark so
far on that.
So if you're going for either of
those exams, these are definitely a
good course to take.
Now, one thing I want to mention
alongside that is I do
have a penetration testing, an
ethical hacking course here on
SIBERRY. So if you haven't taken
that yet and you happen to be going
for specifically the
exam, but the information will
be beneficial as well for the
penthouse. Plus definitely check out
that exam excuse me,
that course. Now we will be having
a pen test plus
certification prep course coming out
here in twenty.
Nineteen is the plan.
So just keep an eye on the website
and keep an eye on your email as
well. So that way when the course
launches, you'll be able to go take
that one as well. So that way if
you're taking either of those exams,
our goal is to try to cover you
for the preparation.
So who am I? Why do you care right
under the most restrictive cyber
again? My name is Ken Underhill
and also an Asian professor of
digital forensics.
As the filming of this course, I'm
not actually teaching this semester,
but I have taught in the past and
I'm still technically on active
staff.
As far as like teaching.
If you don't how agent professional
stuff work, especially kind of like
a print or as is
or as you want to sort of thing.
And that's, you know, universities
use that to kind of structure
their budget and stuff like that a
little better.
I hold a masters in science in
cybersecurity, which is more
relevant than the professor thing.
I also hold undergrad cybersecurity
management as well as information
systems. So it's a dual major degree
there.
I hold the SC Council Certified
Ethical Hacker Examination and
certification, as well as the D.C.
Council computer hacking forensic
investigator one.
I'm also studying for the
test plus right now.
So I'm actually probably one of the
people that will be doing the
test prep course.
So once I pass that, I'll go ahead
and start working on that.
I haven't decided yet.
If I'll have a collaborator on that,
I probably will. So you probably
have a couple of instructors on that
course.
And then also for counsel,
I've been an exam reviewer.
So specifically for the certified
ethical hacker exam, the current
version that's out right now, as he
has of the filming of this course.
And then also I've been a writer for
questions on the computer hacking
forensic investigator of the CHF eye
exam.
And no, I cannot tell you the
answers for either of those exams,
so.
All right, so what are we covered in
this course, I kind of just talk
about it quite a bit in the past
there. Wireshark and TCBY are the
major things, of course, a major one
here. We're doing the introduction
video and then module three will
cover the conclusion as well as I'll
show you where to go for the capsule
lab.
So this course is structured as on
demand video.
And with that, as I mentioned, it's
primarily lab based.
So I'll have step by step guides
for you to take a look at and walk
through the labs with.
You'll also see that when I film the
labs, I have a step by step got
on the screen and we kind of go
through that step by step, hence
the name, step by step.
Now, if you feel that I go too slow
or too fast during the labs, that's
why I created the guide so that we
can kind of just do them on your
own. But I try to keep a pace that
most people could follow along at.
So all those lab guides and
some other helpful information as
far as like study guides and stuff
like that with Wireshark filters,
TCP commands some more information
about the tools themselves.
All the stuff is buried in the
supplemental resources section, so
be sure to click on that and
download the resources.
So just a quick post assessment
question. This one's very, very easy
if you were paying attention.
So I have a master's degree in
history. Is that true or false?
Or so, that's false, right, I
mentioned I have a master's degree
in cybersecurity and also it's a
dual portion there with
cybersecurity and information
assurance from Western governors.
So I do not have a degree in history
at all.
Ah, so that was a quick introduction
to myself and the course in the next
module, we're going to go ahead and
jump right into our labs with
Wireshark and TCP don't.
