We don't normally have a Beginners Meeting in January, but we've had an offer from an interstate presenter who wanted to practice his tutorial before presenting it again at the Linux Conference. Therefore we're delighted to be able to offer a bonus meeting which will make a great follow up to our last Beginners Meeting in November on nmap: Tutorial: Packets don't lie: how can you use tcpdump/tshark (wireshark) to prove your point. Start: Jan 30 2016 12:30 End: Jan 30 2016 16:30 Location: Infoxchange, 33 Elizabeth St. Richmond Link: http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map *Please note the new location for Beginners Meetings.* Sergey Guzenkov will look into: * differences between tshark and tcpdump, * tools that come with wireshark: dumpcap, capinfos, mergecap, tshark, * how to work with the capture files, * how to select the interface we want to capture on, * caveats in capturing (like vlans not being displayed), * capture and display filters, the difference between them, * statistics capabilities - this will be a big focus, * graphing, * decyphering SSL/TLS connection without access to server certificate. Most of the tutorial will be done on the command line without a GUI. Sergey is a full-type Linux sysadmin currently working in the Onegov of NSW Government.
