Course Description

In this course, we focus our attention on two common tools for sniffing for penetration testing: Wireshark and TCPDump. The course is intended to be primarily hands-on, so you will need access to either the Cybrary lab environment or you will need to build out your own virtual systems for testing. We do not cover the buildout of your own virtual systems in this course. All hands-on labs for the course will have an associated step by step guide and we have also provided additional study resources with this course.

The course is focused on hands-on learning and students will need access to the Cybrary lab environment to complete the step by step labs as well as the final assessments. However, students can also choose to set up their own labs but set up and configuration of those labs will not be covered in this course.

This course is part of a Career Path:
Become a Penetration Tester
Last year, penetration testers ranked as one of the three most in-demand jobs in the growing cybersecurity job market. To become a penetration tester, a college degree is not necessary since it’s a skills-based profession. Employers want professionals who can demonstrate the required skills, regardless of education. Cybrary offers realistic, virtual lab environments where you will gain real-world, hands-on skills you will use as a penetration tester.
Become a SOC Analyst - Level 1
A Security Operations Center Analyst (SOC Analyst) stands as a front line of defense against the ever present cyber threats faced by organizations today. A SOC team ensures an organization’s digital assets remain secure and protected from unauthorized access by monitoring and responding to massive amounts of data in record time. In this role, you will protect your organization’s infrastructure by monitoring data to identify suspicious activity, then mitigating risks before a breach occurs. Cybrary's Become a SOC Analyst - Level 1 career path will equip you to break into the field with skills aligned to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cyber Defense Analyst NICE work role.

I am the Master Instructor at Cybrary and a Cybersecurity professional. I have worked primarily in healthcare and as an adjunct professor of digital forensics. I have been instructing online for several years, primarily in business and health-related areas. I hold both the CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker)and CHFI (Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator) certifications from EC-Council and am a content reviewer/writer for both exams (no, I can’t give you the answer key lol). I began helping other professionals pass the CHFI exam after struggling in my first exam attempt. To date, I have helped tens of thousands of people around the world pass the CEH and CHFI exams.
