3 day  Quickstart

.Tony will get you and your staff up and running with Wireshark in no time.

OuTline

This course will concentrate on how to get up and running with Wireshark.

Throughout the class, Tony will determine which technical areas to focus on and review network concepts from a tactical perspective. Network basics are reinforced with hands-on examples in a collaborative environment.

Tony's famous “So What?” technique is reviewed with the students after any important concept is presented. This ensures that the students fully understand the theory or concept just presented beforing moving on.

The goal of the course is to empower the students with enough knowledge that they can immediately apply when they retuen to work. This technique leaves them with an inclination to understand new technology and to become an efficient troubleshooter.
