Packet Analysis for Cyber Attack Detection

Authors/Creators

Description

Real-time network data collection is crucial for identifying security risks such as outdated software and open ports. Network forensics uses packet analysis to monitor traffic, detect threats, trace intrusions, and recover digital content. This study evaluates the integrity of home networks using Wireshark, capturing traffic across devices. Wireshark provides both basic statistics and advanced tools for analyzing network performance.
