I have looked at Wireshark, but don't know much about packet capture
or sniffing a network. I would like to break more into this area.
Can anyone recommend a good resource in this area? I have looked at
Laura Chappell's book but I am not certain if a beginner to this field
will be able to follow the book. Any opinions on that?
Check out Sharkfest 2010 presentations. There are some material aimed
at beginners. One book I can recommend to someone starting out is by
"Troubleshooting TCP/IP " by Mark A. Miller. This book won't teach you
TCP, but it will get you started in analyzing TCP.
If you don't have a good handle on TCP, you should really start by
reading "Internetwork with TCP/IP" by Comer, or "TCP/IP Illustrated Vol
1" by Stevens.
