Practical Lab: Network Traffic Analysis¶
You have been asked to examine a sample of network traffic to investigate suspicious activity on some of the company workstations. The company directors need to be able to understand this data.
- Can you analyse the packet capture (PCAP) file provided and produce useful visualisation outputs (e.g., line plot, bar chart, scatter plot) based on this, that can help further explain the observed activity?
