Episode 30: Network Capture and Traffic Inspection Tools
Being a strong analyst means being comfortable working with packets, flows, and raw network data. In this episode, we explore the tools analysts use for network capture and traffic inspection, including Wireshark and tcpdump. You’ll learn what kinds of data these tools collect, how they’re used during investigations, and what to look for when examining traffic patterns.
We also explain how packet analysis supports threat hunting, incident response, and malware detection, especially in environments where other telemetry is limited. This episode reinforces your understanding of protocol behavior, port activity, and the structure of network conversations—critical knowledge for both practical analysis and exam success.
