Network forensics Deep Dive
RCCE students will learn network forensic capture and analysis including full packet capture, network flow analysis, protocol reconstruction, network-based artifact extraction, and network timeline construction. RCCE students will learn to deploy network capture infrastructure for forensic purposes, collect full packet captures and network flow data during incident investigations, reconstruct network sessions and extract transferred files, analyze DNS queries, HTTP transactions, and encrypted traffic metadata, detect data exfiltration patterns through network forensics, build network-based attack timelines, and produce network forensic reports that complement host-based investigation findings. This deep-dive course provides comprehensive technical coverage that goes beyond surface-level understanding. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to master the nuances, edge cases, and advanced configurations that separate competent practitioners from true experts. Students will engage with complex real-world scenarios and gain the depth of knowledge required to troubleshoot difficult situations, mentor junior team members, and make architectural decisions with confidence.
