101 Labs – Book Series

Experts agree that we retain only 10% of what we read but 90% of what we do. Perhaps this explains why the global pass rate for most IT exams is a ghastly 40%. This is where the 101 Labs book series can help. We are revolutionizing how IT people train for their exams and the real world with our Learn - By - Doing teaching method.

101 Labs’ mission is to turn you into an IT expert by doing instead of reading. Using free software and free trials, our experts take you by the hand and walk you through every aspect of the protocols and technologies you will encounter in your IT career. We share our configuration tips and tricks with you as well as how to avoid the common mistakes many novice engineers make, which can quickly become career-ending.

101 Labs – Wireshark WCNA

A core skill for any network engineer is the ability to capture IP packets and analyze the contents to troubleshoot problems or perform testing. You will often be asked to 'sniff' network traffic by managers or customers as part of your day-to-day role to provide proof of the root cause of issues on your network.

Wireshark is the world's premier packet capture software, and passing their prestigious Wireshark Certified Network Analyst exam will set you apart from your peers both in the workplace and during the interview process for jobs or consulting projects. Passing their exam proves you:

• Have expert knowledge of TCP/IP services and protocols
• Can quickly fault find on networks
• Can baseline network traffic and make recommendations based on facts
• Analyze and troubleshoot WiFi and voice traffic
• Perform network forensics as well as identify hacking attacks
• Produce graphs and charts to document network traffic and issues

Passing the WCNA exam will help you with many other IT certifications from Cisco to CompTIA, Linux, and beyond.

101 Labs – Wireshark WCNA takes you through the exam syllabus using hands-on labs where we analyze traffic such as DNS, ARP, HTTP, WLAN, Voice, and more. Using actual network traffic, you do a deep dive into each protocol and feature of the software, so you are prepared for both the exam and real-world of networking and network security. Follow along with our instructor as he guides you through all the essential commands, tools, and utilities you need to know. We share our years of industry experience with you, so you feel prepared not only for the exams but the real world of Linux system administration.

Please note that all 101 Labs books are hands-on only so we strongly recommend you also use a quality video course or study guide
