Challenge
Inspecting TCP Flags and Ports
For this next objective, you will be using tcpdump, a command-line tool for capturing and analyzing PCAP. Here you will be inspecting TCP flags which are methods to indicate a particular connection state.

Welcome to the final challenge! This is your last chance to experiment in the environment. Clicking End Lab will end this little world that flittered into existence just for you.
Real skill practice before real-world application
Hands-on Labs are real environments created by industry experts to help you learn. These environments help you gain knowledge and experience, practice without compromising your system, test without risk, destroy without fear, and let you learn from your mistakes. Hands-on Labs: practice your skills before delivering in the real world.
Learn by doing
Engage hands-on with the tools and technologies you’re learning. You pick the skill, we provide the credentials and environment.
Follow your guide
All labs have detailed instructions and objectives, guiding you through the learning process and ensuring you understand every step.
Turn time into mastery
On average, you retain 75% more of your learning if you take time to practice. Hands-on labs set you up for success to make those skills stick.
