Not what I was looking for in this course. Doesn’t teach anything new. I rather go on YouTube, if I want to learn the basic. How to set up the interface and capture some files in wire shark; this is course for you. Anything else might well pick up a book on wire shark and do it yourself.

Before this course, I am a programmer who are with not much knowledge on how to use Wireshark. After this course, all the things in my mind just being clear that understand how to use Nmap and Wireshark together. Besides, I also understand how to work with Kali, Namp and Wireshark to conduct web security.

Kevin was very thorough and helped me get a better understanding of Wireshark. While the context is a bit different for me with client server and embedded hardware, the information was still was transferable.

A great way to get into analysis and well explained by the instructor. Understanding that he used Windows I would be interested in seeing any addendum that may concern other platforms if there are actual differences. All in all, well done.

I have experience in wireshark so some of it is super basic, but if I had never touched wireshark I think that this would be a way better course than what I had gone through to learn to use it.

Its not extremely useful if you already have been working with Wireshark, at least not up until this point. That being said, it never hurts to refresh the knowledge once in a while. If that's the case; I'd recommend playing it at x1.5 or maybe even x2.0 times the speed ;)

This course could definately use more hands on instruction / assignments ect.. It seems very dry and there is a lot of information here, but no tools are given to apply and retain what is learned here. It would be great to have some quizzes or exercises.

Used wireshark before a few times but never quite got the hang of it. This helps a lot for network usage.
