Wireshark Threat Hunting: Spotting Brute-Force Attacks and DNS Tunneling in PCAP Data
Overview
A hands-on technical guide detailing how security analysts use Wireshark PCAP analysis to detect, filter, and verify active SSH brute-force attacks and covert DNS tunneling exfiltration.
Key Skills
Network Packet Analysis (Wireshark)
Threat Hunting & Incident Response
Display Filtering & Pattern Recognition
SIEM & EDR Log Correlation
Network Security
Outcome
Teaches analysts how to isolate suspicious network traffic, identify brute-force login patterns via TCP flag analysis, spot high-entropy DNS tunneling queries used for data exfiltration, and trace compromises back to patient zero endpoints.
