About the Course

In this 1-hour 30-minutes long project-based course, you will learn how to use Wireshark to capture the Network Traffic you need and analyze it securely. You will have a better understanding of encrypted and unencrypted traffic and how to differentiate between them. You will dig deeply into unencrypted protocols such as RADIUS, HTTP, DNS and Telnet by generating the Traffic of each of them and capturing it yourself. Also you will generate, capture and look into secure and encrypted protocols such as HTTPS and SSH. Additionally, you will learn how to capture HTTPS Traffic and decrypt them by using a pre-master secret key. Note: This project works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions....

gave me a good review in regards to the capabilities of Wireshark & enlightened me to how insecure

some of our network communications are, which is a good thing!

It was wonderfully explained in a much simplistic manner! Recommended for all new comers in the field of Cyber Security / Ethical Hacking / Pen Testing!

The course was a good course. I had problems getting the website to work and also receiving the email with credentials, however, I was able to learn a great deal.

The video and instructor were very easy to follow. The only issue I had was the files already saved to the VM were never working. For example, if I clicked on a saved desktop icon that was suppose to redirect me to a webpage, it would not. This resulted in manually inputing the url that I copied from the video, this was quite annoying. The powershell was also not responsive, I would copy the video/instuctor and input the exact same code into powershell, but the results would be different for some reason. Wireshark also displayed differet packet information than that in the video which was misleading and lead me to question myself when I shouldnt have had to. The instructor was great, but the system/project seems to need major updating. This was not worth $10 and I would advise you to save your money.

It was hard to understand the instructor's accent, and much of the stuff in the work cloud space is not working and needs to be updated. The instructions also need to be more organised.

Sadly the shortcuts to the web based utilities no longer work, making it impossible to follow along with the tutorial videos.

Same as what others have been saying, the links do not work and Wireshark displays different information that what the instructor is showing. I could input the url manually and it would work ok, but after the 3rd website I was completely lost and unable to proceed. Thankfully I had Coursera Plus so I didn't pay outright for this course, but if it asks you to pay I would highly suggest searching elsewhere.
