So that was “Traffic Analysis Essentials” for you. We have covered the the foundations of Network Security and Traffic analysis and was introduced to the essential concepts of these disciplines to help us step into Traffic/Packet Analysis. We started with basic fundamentals of Network security covering security access controls that includes access and threat control and managed security services. At last, we solved bunch of challenges regarding traffic analysis obtain two flags to complete the room. On that note, i will take your leave and will see you in next one, Till then “Hack the Planet”.
