Ethereal Network Protocol Analyzer Toolkit provides the reader with
a completely integrated book and companion Web site to analyze network traffic
using Ethereal, the world's most popular network protocol analyzer on Windows,
Unix, and Apple OS X. This book covers everything from the fundamentals of protocol
analysis, to analyzing real world malicious code to programming advanced protocol
dissectors. The companion Web site for the book offers dozens of working tools
and scripts created for this book. This book provides complete information and
step-by-step Instructions for analyzing protocols and network traffic on Windows,
Unix or Mac OS X networks. First, readers will learn about the types of sniffers
available today and see the benefits of using Ethereal. Readers will then learn
to install Ethereal in multiple environments including Windows, Unix and Mac
OS X as well as building Ethereal from source and will also be guided through
Ethereal's graphical user interface. The following sections will teach readers
to use command-line options of Ethereal as well as using Tethereal to capture
live packets from the wire or to read saved capture files. This section also
details how to import and export files between Ethereal and WinDump, Snort,
Snoop, Microsoft Network Monitor, and EtherPeek. The book then teaches the reader
to master advanced tasks such as creating sub-trees, displaying bitfields in
a graphical view, tracking requests and reply packet pairs as well as exclusive
coverage of MATE, Ethereal's brand new configurable upper level analysis engine.
The final section to the book teaches readers to enable Ethereal to read new
Data sources, program their own protocol dissectors, and to create and customize
Ethereal reports.
