Have you ever wondered if there are any shortcuts to turn junior engineers’ network packet troubleshooting skills into senior levels? Wireshark has been the “go-to” application for deep troubleshooting on network-related issues or even security forensics activities. But packet analysis using Wireshark is not something that can be easily done by junior engineers.
The Challenge of Packet Capture Files
Packet capture files, also known as PCAP files, are commonly used in network troubleshooting and analysis. However, these files are typically in a raw binary format that is not human-readable and can be difficult to interpret. This unstructured format makes it challenging for junior engineers to quickly identify network issues, especially when using traditional analysis tools such as Wireshark.
Simplify Network Packet Analysis At Simply Data
We have developed a simplified packet analysis tool that leverages Elasticsearch and Kibana to provide a user-friendly, structured view of packet capture data. With our module, junior engineers can easily import PCAP files and visualize key information such as source and destination IPs, MAC addresses, QoS DSCP values, TLS handshakes, TLS versions, SNI values, and more, without the need for extensive training or experience in packet analysis.
Our simplified network packet analysis module offers several benefits, including:
- An easy-to-use interface that reduces the learning curve for junior engineers
- Quick identification of network issues and security threats
- Simplified troubleshooting and analysis for network operations and security teams
- Improved collaboration and communication between engineers and teams
This module can be used in various use cases, such as troubleshooting network issues, identifying performance bottlenecks, detecting security threats, and analyzing network behavior patterns.
Conclusion:
Packet analysis is a critical task for network operations and security teams, but it can be challenging for junior engineers without extensive training or experience. Our simplified network packet analysis module provides an easy-to-use, structured view of packet capture data that enables junior engineers to quickly identify network issues and security threats. With our tool, your team can improve collaboration, reduce troubleshooting time, and ultimately, ensure a better network performance.
