Computer networks are the backbone of modern communication, connecting people, devices, and services across the globe. They are essential for businesses, organizations, and individuals, and understanding how to administer and manage these networks is a valuable skill in today's digital age.

Wireshark, one of the most popular and powerful network analysis tools, will be our primary focus in this course. It allows us to peer into the inner workings of networks, dissect packets of data, and uncover network issues, security threats, and performance bottlenecks. By the end of this course, you will be equipped with the skills and expertise to excel in the field of computer network administration, using Wireshark as your trusted companion. You'll also be able to earn a certification that demonstrates your proficiency in these critical areas.
