By gaining an understanding of the basic protocol analyzer (Wireshark), students

By gaining an understanding of the basic protocol analyzer (Wireshark), students will be able to set up and read basic digital traffic, including:
Gaining a foundational understanding of logging.
Identifying the source and destination IPs.
Translating IP addresses into websites.
Identifying ports and protocols.
Creating a timeline of events.
View the “2-2 Wireshark Lab” video, located in Class Resources. In this lab, you will explore some basic Wireshark and Linux commands.
Part 1:
Complete the following Wireshark tasks and capture screenshots of each task result:
Identify the IP addresses for the Kali Linux and Windows 10 VMs.
On the Kali Linux VM, start a Wireshark packet capture and show all network traffic.
Add an ICMP filter and ping the Windows 10 VM.
Add an IP Address filter with the Windows 10 VM IP Address and run an Nmap Service Scan on the Windows 10 VM IP Address.
Research and apply two additional filters to demonstrate their effect on the capture.
Save the captured packets to a file.
Close the capture session and then load the capture file that you saved.
Part 2:
Write a 250- to 500-word summary and include the following:
Your Kali IP address
The Windows IP Address
The command used to change directory
The command that moves a file
The command that removes a file
The command that creates a new directory
An explanation for why a timestamp is important on Wireshark, as well as other logging tools
A list of 10 well-known ports and associated protocols
A brief explanation of the difference between a port and a protocol
Description of how Wireshark can be used to identify events that indicate an attack is in progress or has happened
