CYB 360 Wk 5 – Apply: Packet Capture Analysis

You are hired by an organization to analyze packet captures from a wireless network. You are looking to assess if the captures pose a threat.

 

Analyze the packet captures provided by Wireshark by doing the following:

 

Go to the Wireshark Sample Captures site and download the following:

  • wpa-Induction.pcap.gz Wi-Fi802.11 WPA traffic
  • wpa-eap-tls.pcap.gz WiFi802.11 WPA-EAP/Rekey sample
  • nb6-hotspot.pcap Someone connecting to SFR’s wireless community network
  • pcap.gz (libpcap) Cisco Wireless LAN Context Control Protocol (WLCCP) version 0x0
  • pcap contains two WSP request-response dialogs

 

Note: Only download these sample captures. Other captures may set off your computer’s system defenses.

 

Use Wireshark to view and analyze the sample captures.

 

Create a 1- to 2-page table that ranks the packet captures from the highest to lowest threat. In your table, provide the following for each packet capture:

  • Description of the traffic
  • Description of the risks, if any, the traffic poses to the wireless network
  • Countermeasures to take to secure network from any threat

 

Write a 2- to 3-page memo to management as a network security specialist, and ensure you do the following:

  • Explain how to distinguish hostile packet data from normal packet data.
  • Explain how to recognize any attack signatures in the packets you analyze.
  • Provide a rationale for ranking the packets as you did.

 

Format any citations according to APA guidelines.
