Chapter 4 Capstone Project 4-2 Use & Instill WireShark

Lenovo ThinkPad

On this project we dove deeper into the details and application of Wireshark. I was able to find the type of protocol used to establish a connection to a webpage. Go further into details on the OSI model, IP source, checksums, time length, important messages, and the type of connection established. I like how it gives a visual to the OSI model and allows you to click into each message further for additional information. I was also able to look into a TCP stream and see a thorough breakdown of the 3-way handshake for a connection. Its interesting to see the different port numbers, IP addresses, and connection types displayed in detail. This will come in handy as our knowledge develops on how systems communicate and establish connections. We can also troubleshoot our own issues better instead of having to a call third party for assistance. These projects are pretty cool and helps me better understand our textbook, since I am more hands-on.
