Wireshark Essentials

Good book, lots of info fast

Solid introduction to WireShark for beginners and a good reference for the intermediate level user.I appreciate the fact that Mr Baxter touches one some of WireShark's more advanced customizations and visualizations. I still find many network professionals who've never used these.While he certainly can’t go through every bullet point, in each dialog he does cover enough ground in enough detail to allow the reader to intuit other capabilities. As an example, his description of how to decrypt SSL in the “Preferences” dialog should hint that you can do the same for ISAKMP.I’m only semi-disappointed that he doesn’t include a table of display filters although he does give some good examples.

Wireshark is one of the most powerful tools available to network administrators, but it can definitely seem daunting at first. This book is an excellent tool to use to learn the basics of what Wireshark is, how it works, and some tips and techniques for making it work more efficiently for you. After reading this book, you should be comfortable enough to start using Wireshark and begin to unlock the huge potential of this application.

I've gone through the e-book. It was easy to understand. And it carried lot of information which will be useful in debugging networking Problems. I recommend this book for others to go through!
