The Packet Analysis Course (CPAC) provides students an understanding of packet and protocol analysis. Students will work with real network traffic captures in real environments and will analyse different communication types and their components. Upon completion, students will be able to passively analyse packet captures and create network topologies and device characterisations – valuable traits in the cybersecurity field.

Topics and labs include: Protocol Parsing, ARP Analysis, Initial Connection, Interesting Searches, Additional Pets, GET Request and Response Dissection, Nefarious Employee, Playing Around, Probe Request Analysis, Beacon Analysis, Network Topology, Wireless Network Topology, Blaster Worm Analysis, Rogue AP and Mobile Analysis, Complete Netmap and Device Characterisation.
