Wireshark is the most powerful network analysis tool every coder should know. After you learn it it'll become one of the most important application in your toolbox.
If you are ...
- experienced coder / programmer
- ... or just learning programming
- network administrator
- linux enthusiast
- interested in security and hacking
... this is the course for you!
I have more than 15 years of experience in programming and reverse engineering and I know how much harder my life would be without tool like Wireshark. That's why I've made this course. If I had such edu resources available when I was learning I could leapfrog to the next level and save a lot of time spent on trial and error.
The course is 19 lectures, 60 min of video content in total. It's pure knowledge, straight to the point, stripped of all unimportant crap.
Students so far rate it at 5 out of 5 stars. I'm confident you will not regret the one hour time investment in this course.
