Packet Eavesdropping and Analysis
The objective of the project was to provide a hands-on experience to have a better understanding of the information transmitted in the Internet. At the same time, we want to show how powerful the packet eavesdropping and analysis tools are. Through the usage of the wiretapping tool such as WireShark, one can learn about the network packets and how information is encapsulated. In real life, many network administrators and security engineers depend on such tools to capture suspicious activities and then analyze them.
