The "Death of" Series

I've been having a great time working on some really lousy networks! You too?! What a coincidence!

As conference season approaches (June), I've just finished writing up my draft presentations. I'll be starting a series of presentations inspired by the Dexter series on Showtime. As we've run through the entire season just recently, the
images of death were first and foremost on my mind when I started sketching out these presentations.

DEATH OF A NETWORK: Identify the Hidden Cause of Lousy Network Performance
I'm going to have fun with this one! This is my "finger pointing" session and I have some major pointing to do! I'm not going to sugar coat some of the more recent causes of pathetic performance and I'll be showing the trace files used
to nail down who's really killing the network.

DEATH OF SECURITY: Breached Hosts/Stolen Data/IP Espionage
A long conversation with a buddy at a 3-letter agency gave me some ideas of what to share in this session. We'll talk some recent case stuff before looking at suspicious traffic and have a heart-to-heart about the methods in which your
network security may fail you.

ADD SOME HUMOR TOO...
It's not all death and doom though. I added some "ugly network" humor in there. In fact I'm going to have difficulty keeping a straight face as I walk through the traffic of a certain hip phone that exudes attitude on the network. Hmmm.... who could that be?

ALL ACCESS PASS MEMBERS
I'll be recording these "Death of" presentations for our All Access Pass members, so get a membership if you want to
catch these new presentations without heading to a conference.

Of course, I won't be serving wine or beer, but you'll probably remember the information better that way!

Enjoy life... one bit at a time!

Six Wireshark Network Analysis Video Supplements are Ready!

Coffee and a Quickie offers a quick glimpse at some of the topics discussed in the Wireshark Network Analysis book.Yesterday I added another video focusing on using pre-made profile elements. The videos are all over at www.wiresharkbook.com/coffee.

The book is now on Amazon - they are ramping up stock, so be patient!

Conference Season Heating Up
We're working on calendars this week as the conference abstract and presentation deadlines loom. So far, I am planning on being at the following conferences:

  • Microsoft TechEd
  • Sharkfest 2010
  • HP TechForum (preshow seminar)
  • HTCIA International

We are looking at running some Wireshark Bootcamps. These will be 3-day intense Wireshark hands-on courses focused on the objectives defined for the Wireshark Certified Network Analyst exam. The objectives are listed at the front of each chapter of the Wireshark Network Analysis book.

Don't Forget - there are lots of resources over at the www.wiresharkbook.com website - don't forget to download the trace files and other supplements.

Enjoy life... one bit at a time.

Free AirPcap Adapters at Sharkfest!

Two things have been foremost on my plate this week - Sharkfest registration opened and the Chappell University beta program launched. I'll blog about Chappell University next - first, I want to make sure you know how to get a free AirPcap adapter to capture wireless traffic with Wireshark!

Did you catch last year's Sharkfest Developer and Users Conference? Set in a laid back campus and swarming with Wireshark developers and fantatics, Sharkfest '08 gave us all a chance to mingle, discuss Wireshark tips and tricks, banter about ideas for enhancements and toast to the 10th anniversary and growth of a simple packet capture tool called Ethereal into the industry-leading analyzer Wireshark!



Sharkfest '09 will be held at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California on June 15-18th and CACE Technologies is giving every registered attendee a FREE AIRPCAP CLASSIC ADAPTER! This is a great deal considering the conference is less than $200/day and the initial session offering is filled with basic through advanced analysis techniques for wired and wireless networking.



Check out www.cacetech.com/sharkfest.09 for details on the event and register today to get your free AirPcap adapter!

See you at Sharkfest!
