Assignment: SMTP, HTTP Protocol Analysis Lab
In this lab, you will apply what you have learned about Wireshark use as well as Application Layer standards and protocols to analyze files of captured web and email traffic. The packet capture files for analysis are provided.
This project involves analysis of two packet capture (pcap) files (SMTP_Capture & HTTP_Capture) using the Wireshark network analysis tool. Wireshark is open source (free) software available and the pcap files are available on Blackboard as attachments to the project assignment. Open each pcap file in Wireshark and use its analysis tools to answer the questions below.
Turn-in Requirements: To complete the assignment, upload a Word (.docx) or Adobe (.pdf) file with answers to the following questions as your submission to the M02 Lab assignment in Blackboard. Each set of questions below refers to the pcap file underlined above them.
