Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics

Steps:

1. Begin capturing on your external interface.
2. Visit hoppersroppers.org with your web browser. Click around for a bit.
3. End the capture.

Tasks:

1. Open up the Statistics menu in your Wireshark
2. Check out the Protocol Hierarchy. What are the top 10 protocols listed? Anything interesting in there?
3. Check out the Conversations view. Go to the TCP tab and sort by number of packets sent. Play around with it a bit. What was the largest conversation during this capture?
4. What were the most common endpoints? Roppers is probably first, but what were #2 and #3?
5. There is plenty more in the Statistics Menu so play around a bit and try to use this information to figure out what happened in your browsing session.
