The Wireshark Packet Analysis Training – Capture, Analyse & Troubleshoot Network Traffic course provides a complete introduction to one of the most powerful tools in network analysis. Designed for beginners and aspiring IT professionals, this course shows you how to use Wireshark to monitor, capture, and interpret live network data — the same skills used daily by network administrators, cybersecurity analysts, and system engineers across the world.

You’ll begin with the fundamentals of traffic capture, exploring how Wireshark works and why packet analysis is essential for diagnosing network issues. You’ll learn how to download, install, and configure Wireshark, navigate its interface, and use built-in tools to identify patterns, anomalies, and data streams. The lessons combine theory with practical demonstrations to help you understand every stage of the network monitoring process.

As you progress, you’ll study display and capture filters, apply filter management techniques, and explore the OSI model to better understand how data travels across networks. You’ll also generate your own test frames and capture sessions, giving you real-time experience in analysing network behaviour.

Later in the course, you’ll dive deep into the TCP/IP suite, examining the transmission control process, TCP handshakes, UDP, IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, and ICMP/ICMPv6 protocols. You’ll also conduct deep packet analysis of key network services such as DNS, DHCP, FTP, HTTP, and ARP, learning how to troubleshoot connectivity issues, detect latency, and interpret session behaviour.

The final module focuses on using Wireshark’s Expert System, where you’ll learn to identify bottlenecks, export packet captures, and document your analysis for professional reporting. By the end of this training, you’ll have the confidence to capture and decode any network packet, interpret complex data flows, and apply Wireshark in real-world environments for diagnostics, optimisation, and security.

Whether you’re preparing for a career in network security, aiming to strengthen your IT troubleshooting skills, or simply curious about how data moves across the internet, this course gives you a complete, hands-on foundation in Wireshark and packet analysis.
