In this lab, we use Wireshark to analyze a simulated Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack against a server. You’ll learn how to capture network traffic, filter for TCP SYN packets, generate normal ping traffic, and then launch a SYN flood using hping3. By examining TCP flags and packet patterns, you’ll see how attackers overwhelm a target system with connection requests. This hands-on walkthrough demonstrates how cybersecurity analysts detect DoS attacks using packet analysis and traffic monitoring techniques.
