What you'll learn

Detecting threats in network traffic and identifying covert channels can be challenging, especially when dealing with high volumes of data and constantly evolving attack techniques. In this course, Security Analysis: Monitoring Network Applications, you will learn how to analyze network and DNS traffic, detect covert communication channels, and automate threat detection. First, you will explore how to use tools like Wireshark and the ELK Stack to monitor and analyze network traffic. Next, you will discover how to identify DNS anomalies, such as tunneling and exfiltration attempts, using practical techniques and tools. Finally, you will learn how to set up automated solutions for DNS log analysis, configure alerts, and respond to suspicious activities in real-time. By the end of this course, you will have developed the skills and knowledge necessary for basic network traffic monitoring and threat detection.
