Question on TCP Header
Can anyone show me HOW to analyze a TCP header in hexadecimal format? I'd like to be able to find out some information like source port number, destination port number, etc.
Or maybe possibly point me in the right direction somewhere else? I appreciate your help!

Do you need documentation or a tool? There's lots of info on the Web about the TCP header and all IP protocols. And Wireshark is a great way to collect and analyze IP packets. -

Documentation. This is actually for a wireshark lab I'm doing but I'm not sure how to go about actually working from using the hexadecimal format of the header and finding out the info. I'll check those links out. Thanks! -

Be sure to check the Wireshark users guide too. Syngress has two books featuring Wireshark, but I think you need Practical Packet Analysis from No Starch Press.
