Hello guys, I have used the program ethereal before and i also heard its a great utility to start off with to read packets.

I was just wondering if anyone knows any good sites on how to read the captures ethereal gets ? I understand the simple parts but there are some more advanced sections i would like to get into.

Thanks

Well to understand the more detailed packets and some unobvious packet you should do an intensive network course such as CCNA ... honestly I do not think that there is one guide to explain everything apearing in the ethernet display.... if there are some details you do not understand just do a search on the corresponding protocol "since the protocol structure is standard" or if it is a specific question I would be glad to help you...
