FAQs
Network admins, support engineers, and analysts who want a structured, hands-on start with Wireshark and packet analysis.
Basic familiarity helps, but we start from core workflows before moving to troubleshooting labs.
Live online with instructors. All labs run in the browser so you only need a browser and Wireshark.
Yes. You keep the PCAPs, filter packs, and lab writeups for later practice.
You receive a certificate of completion and a badge you can share internally.

What analysts say
Participants share how the workshop shortened their investigations.
The labs are exactly what I see at work. I finally have filters I trust instead of guessing.
Lena Müller
Network Administrator
Loved the step-by-step playbooks for DHCP and DNS—made writing RCA notes much faster.
Marcus Lee
Support Engineer
The instructor feedback and hands-on labs made the concepts stick in one week.
