Challenge

Open "pcap1.pcap" in Wireshark. What is the IP address that initiates an ICMP/ping?

If we only wanted to see HTTP GET requests in our "pcap1.pcap" file, what filter would we use?

Now apply this filter to "pcap1.pcap" in Wireshark, what is the name of the article that the IP address "10.10.67.199" visited?

Follow HTTP Stream

Let's begin analysing "pcap2.pcap". Look at the captured FTP traffic; what password was leaked during the login process?

There's a lot of irrelevant data here - Using a filter here would be useful!

Continuing with our analysis of "pcap2.pcap", what is the name of the protocol that is encrypted?

Analyse "pcap3.pcap" and recover Christmas!
