Description
Wireshark for SOC Analyst & AI-Powered Analysis is a course on how to use Wireshark for network traffic analysis, threat detection, and SOC investigations using AI-powered analysis, published by Udemy Online Academy. This course is suitable for aspiring SOC analysts, cybersecurity professionals, network advocates, and security enthusiasts, and begins with the fundamentals of networking and cybersecurity before progressing to packet capture, filtering, TCP/IP analysis, and protocol-level analysis, combining traditional analyst skills with a modern AI-powered workflow. Learners begin by establishing their understanding of core networking and cybersecurity concepts, ensuring they understand the underlying protocols and traffic behavior before delving into Wireshark itself. The course then covers packet capture and filtering, teaching learners how to use both display and capture filters to isolate relevant threats within large, crowded packet captures, rather than manually scanning everything. The main part of the course focuses on analyzing real PCAP files, giving learners first-hand experience identifying suspicious traffic patterns, the way a real SOC analyst would, rather than relying on simplified textbook examples.
Learners examine protocol-level activity across TCP, UDP, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, and FTP, along with ICMP traffic, building a broad and practical understanding of the differences between legitimate and malicious traffic at each layer. Specific attack patterns are directly covered, and learners learn to identify indicators such as port scans, brute-force attempts, DNS tunneling, and malware command-and-control communications within captured traffic. These patterns form the practical backbone of the real work of SOC investigation. What sets this course apart is its integration with AI-assisted analysis: Learners connect Claude AI to Wireshark via an MCP server, allowing them to examine traffic using natural language queries, rather than relying solely on manual filter syntax. This combines traditional packet analysis skills with a modern workflow that accelerates analysis without replacing analyst judgment. By the end of the course, learners will be ready to perform real-world network traffic analysis and threat detection, augmented with the practical help of AI.
