The Wireshark Certification Exam focuses on analyzing packets and protocols with emphasis on the following areas:

Describe packet flow through a data network

Explain the purpose of standard network protocols

Identify the structure of packet headers and the relevant fields in each

Use Wireshark display filters to isolate relevant packets for analysis

Troubleshoot network issues using Wireshark related to Ethernet, IP, TCP
and standard Application Layer protocols

Demonstrate ability to use key Wireshark features for practical protocol analysis

This Bootcamp style course is for Networking, Government, and Security personnel to complete
the Wireshark WCA Certification for their professional development using Wireshark. Attainment of
this certification provides these individuals with a pathway into the Network and Forensics Analysis
field.
