Wireshark lab: 10/15

As I wrote earlier, you will have labs on Wed 10/15 and Wed 10/22 in lab 4206N.

You will use the following trace files since you cannot do live capture in the lab.

After you have downloaded the above zip file, extract the contents onto the desktop.

You will do a lab on HTTP. The lab says ``Ethereal'' which is the old name for Wireshark, but the lab is still valid.

Start up Wireshark and open the file called http-ethereal-trace-1 that you extracted onto the desktop by choosing File->Open and then choosing the above file. You will use this file for all of part 1 in the HTTP lab. Each section uses a different trace file read carefully which trace file you need to use (each of the http-ethereal-trace files will be used).

Try to answer as many questions as you can. These will be figured into your grade as extra credit.
