go to choice for network monitoring and analysis.

64
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:46,250
Packet analysis involves examining packets to understand the characteristics and structure of traffic

65
00:05:46,250 --> 00:05:46,820
flow.

66
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:53,600
It can become and it can be done in real time or by analyzing previously captured files.

67
00:05:53,720 --> 00:06:01,040
Specialized softwares like Wireshark or Tshark is used to capture network traffic and save it in a packet.

68
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,600
Capture the file called Pcap.

69
00:06:06,260 --> 00:06:06,920
Pcap.

70
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,320
Section pcap file.

71
00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:17,120
So here, this is the extension that we will use the already captured network analysis.

72
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,270
So and here, as I said, packet analysis analysis benefits various groups.

73
00:06:23,690 --> 00:06:29,450
One of them are network administrators gain insights into network conditions.

74
00:06:29,450 --> 00:06:35,140
Security analysts use it for forensic investigations and identifying suspicious traffic.

75
00:06:35,150 --> 00:06:42,450
Students utilize packet analysis as a learning tool for understanding protocols, and hackers may employ

76
00:06:42,450 --> 00:06:46,140
it to gather network information during reconnaissance.

77
00:06:46,140 --> 00:06:52,860
