What I Did:

​

• Packet Capture and Analysis:
  Utilized Wireshark to capture network traffic, inspecting packets in real time to identify patterns and anomalies.

• Threat Identification:
  Detected and analyzed common network-based attacks, such as ARP spoofing and DNS poisoning, by scrutinizing packet data for suspicious behaviors and indicators of compromise.

• Troubleshooting and Insight Generation:
  Investigated anomalies to understand their root causes, demonstrating a methodical approach to network troubleshooting and security monitoring.

• Documentation:
  Compiled findings into a comprehensive report that highlighted suspicious activity, explained potential impacts, and recommended mitigation strategies.

​

Key Skills Demonstrated:

• Packet capture and inspection using Wireshark

• Identifying and analyzing common network-based attacks

• Network troubleshooting and anomaly detection

• Report creation and threat documentation

​

Outcome:
Through this project, I developed a deeper understanding of network traffic and the techniques required to identify potential threats. It enhanced my ability to use industry-standard tools and interpret network data effectively, furthering my skills in network analysis and cybersecurity.
