Wireshark

Going to Interop and one of the training secessions is for Wireshark. Anyone have a recommendation of an entry level Wireshark book? No knowledge of Wireshark is required for the class, but I think I will get more out of it with some familiarity. So I am thinking a Wireshark for dummies kind of deal.

You probably can't go wrong using their official study guide

Wireshark University

Or just their site documentation and videos will give you a good idea.

I bought the Wireshark DVD bootcamp a couple years back as the official certification material in preparation for the up and coming Certification. Pretty great series. Still haven't taken the exam though.

Laura's new Wireshark book is a mandatory read... It also serves as the *new official certification material. If your company is paying you to go through the course I'd be extremely surprised to hear the book wasn't part of the course. Brush up on your Transport layer and Network layer communications. DHCP/DNS/ICMP/TCP/UDP/IP, the materiel is really thick..

There is not better knowledge than the one you gain by using the product. Download it and use it at home ( or work if permitted) - You can then get examples online of what you can do with WS.
