This document summarizes an introduction to packet analysis presentation. It covers the basics of analyzing traffic at layers 2 through 4, including MAC addresses, IP addresses, TCP and UDP ports and protocols. Specific examples are provided of capturing TCP and UDP traffic in different states like established connections, rejected attempts and responses. ICMP traffic analysis is also introduced through ping examples. Methods for capturing traffic are demonstrated including tcpdump commands and filters. Potential uses of packet analysis like troubleshooting bandwidth usage, VPNs, port forwarding and routing are listed. The presentation ends with case studies on analyzing a DDoS bot and a TCP window size of 0 issue.
