Title: Analysing Network Traffic
Goal: To design and build a system that captures and analyses LAN traffic to monitor patterns, spot anomalies, and assess network performance. It may also be extended to cover WAN traffic.
Description: This project involves collecting and examining network packets to understand usage, detect unusual behaviour, and evaluate performance. It supports better network management, security, and optimisation. Legal and Ethical Notes: Ensure all monitoring complies with privacy laws. Get permission before capturing data, inform users, and protect any sensitive information with proper security measures.
Resources: Courses: Introduction to Networking, Computer and Network Security Books: Wireshark Network Analysis (Chappell), Network Security Essentials (Stallings) Web: Wireshark Wiki for tutorials and packet analysis
Background: Strong programming skills (e.g. Python, Java, Bash) and a good understanding of networking basics are essential.
