How to Use This Book

I have intended this book to be used in two ways. The first is, of course, as an educational text that you will read through, chapter by chapter, in order to gain an understanding of packet analysis. This means paying particular attention to the real-world scenarios in the last several chapters. The other use of this book is as a reference resource. There are some features of Wireshark that you will not use very often, so you may forget how they work. Because of this, Practical Packet Analysis is a great book to have on your bookshelf should you need a quick refresher about how to use a specific feature.
