Advanced Insights with Packet Analysis
Dive into real port scanning behavior, from classic SYN scans to UDP sweeps and NULL/XMAS scans. You'll trace attacker intent, scan speed, and stealth techniques by dissecting packet sequences and anomalies.
Key topics:
-
TCP SYN, FIN, NULL, and XMAS scans
-
UDP port probing behavior
-
Wireshark profiles for scan detection
-
Differentiating noisy scans vs targeted probing
