This revision includes the features added as of Wireshark 1.8 including annotation, filter expression buttons, multi-adapter capture and more. You can head over to the wiresharkbook website to view the What's New document for a complete listing of enhancements in this Second Edition.
We began the update process in July 2011, but Wireshark 1.8 was looming and, the more I played with the development versions (1.7.x), the more evident it became that this book had to be held until 1.8 released. It's an amazingly hot version of Wireshark and alters the way we analyze traffic.
This book is well organized, and has helped me decrypt the mysteries of wireshark in preparation for Network+ certification. Using wireshark helped bind concepts and ideas with practice. The book is a great primer to learn more.
A very in depth review for experts and novices alike this book has helped me understand the issues going on in our network. I highly recommend that any one who has to deal with networks for configurations buy this book.
A fantastic book. Not only will it rapidly improve your ability to use one of the key network analysis tools out there, it will greatly improve your understanding of TCP/IP and it's related applications. I can't recommend it enough.
It does get a bit heavy at times in how much detail it goes into, however, that is good for the newbie (tyro). Can be used as a reference work.
For me this book is exactly what I was looking for.
I needed a reference that would go into more detail and reveal some tried and true strategies, applying Wireshark to solve real world network problems.
The book chronicles many real network problems and how the author went about using Wireshark to solve them.
For me, that is the kind of insight I needed to make better use of this powerful network troubleshooting tool.
It helped me get over the hurdle of being intimidated by the complexity to using Wireshark as a go to troubleshooting tool.
This book is full of great information AND great examples. It's easy to follow. Laura really knows how everything works at the packet level.
This book is an excellent source of Wireshark information and networking information. It is also easy to read, explaining very complicated concepts in an easy-to-understand manner.
Even though this is a long book, it a great book and contains a lot of information.
The book starts off with understanding the WireShark application and how you can customize the application to make it easier to find out what you are looking for. After that the book jumps into basic analysis and what features Wireshark has (Follow TCP Stream, Expert Systems, Graphs, etc) then dives into the nuts and bolts of popular protocols like HTTP/FTP/DNS/ARP, and the second edition include IPv6 which is great book. This is a great example of a company keeping up with technology.
I will say however, this book is not for the faint the topics are pretty advanced and the case studies go over certain scenarios however. There is also over a GB of extra information such as packet captures to compliment the book. So if you put in enough dedication you'll be able to master Wireshark.
The second edition covers a lot of the fantastic new features available in Wireshark 1.8+, while not ignoring the functionality of earlier versions. The book covers configuration, capture/display/colorizaton rules (with excellent examples), easy navigation tips, and in-depth analysis and troubleshooting hints for the most common protocols. Lots of free downloads at the book's website - commented trace files (discussed and analyzed in the book), profiles, and videos. Well worth the price!
And don't forget Laura's insightful (and always comical) comments and asides that make her such a superb presenter. They're all here, too. This is no dull, dry technical manual.
I also recommend the test booklet, even if you're not planning for certification. Trying to answer the test questions identifies the most important material in the book, and helps cement the material in memory. Again, well worth a few extra bucks.
