Welcome to the Computer Networks Guide! This resource is designed to help you understand the basics of computer networks and familiarise yourself with essential tools like Wireshark, Cisco Packet Tracer, and Python.
- Wireshark: A network protocol analyzer for capturing and displaying network traffic.
- Cisco Packet Tracer: A network simulation tool for creating and configuring network topologies.
- Python: A versatile programming language useful for network programming and automation.
Wireshark allows you to capture and analyze network traffic in real-time or from saved files. It's ideal for troubleshooting network issues, detecting intrusions, and learning how data travels through a network.
Cisco Packet Tracer lets you simulate network environments by creating network topologies and configuring devices. It's a great tool for learning networking concepts and practicing configurations without the need for physical hardware.
Python is widely used in network programming due to its simplicity and extensive libraries. It can automate network tasks, build network applications, and analyze network data, making it a valuable tool for both beginners and professionals.
