Pre-Conference Class II: WebRTC Network Analysis Masterclass
If you have users complaining about audio issues in their Teams/Meet/Zoom calls and need to find out the reason. If you need to configure your network perimeter to optimally support WebRTC traffic under specific regulations
-> this class is for you.

Pre-Conference Class III: The Proof is in the Packets: Network Threat Detection Using Wireshark
In a world of encrypted traffic and sophisticated evasion, the network remains the ultimate source of truth. Security tools may alert you that something is wrong, but the packets tell you exactly what happened on the wire.

This hands-on course will provide core Wireshark skills for IT pros of all experience levels. Participants will gain a solid understanding of how to use Wireshark to capture, analyze, and troubleshoot network traffic. The course is designed with beginners in mind, but even seasoned packet people will pick up new tips and tricks. Topics covered include: an introduction to network analysis and the role of Wireshark, installing and configuring Wireshark, analyzing captured packets, understanding protocol structures, and identifying network issues, utilizing powerful filtering techniques to isolate specific traffic and find the packets that matter, a deep Dive into ARP, IP, ICMP, DNS, DHCP, TCP, UDP, QUIC, HTTP, TLS, and working with command-line tools like TShark.
