Project Description

Use your cyber threat hunting skills to identify network traffic patterns for anomalies and investigate malware. You'll use Wireshark to examine packet capture files for potential red flags, including executable file downloads and IP conversations that indicate malicious activity. Then you'll attempt to piece together the threat using the skills taught in the Cyber Threat Hunting Learning Path. Can you identify the malware?
