Network Analysis with Wireshark

Unveiling Packet Dynamics and Security Measures

Conducted hands-on packet analysis using Wireshark to examine network vulnerabilities. Captured and filtered 11,000+ packets to:
• Compare secured (HTTPS) vs. unsecured (HTTP) traffic flows
• Demonstrate phishing risks by reconstructing TCP streams containing exposed plaintext data
• Identify suspicious device communications through conversation analysis

Key Technical Processes:

1. Applied display filters (tcp.analysis.flags, port 80/443) to isolate SYN handshakes and protocol traffic

2. Revealed security weaknesses by intercepting simulated HTTP login data

3. Documented methods to hide protocols and detect anomalous device communications

4. Analyzed packet structures across all OSI layers for threat indicators
