Abstract:

Protocol analysis is the process of capturing and analyzing the packets in a live environment in order to identify any unusual activities like presence of Trojans, root kits or other activities initiated by hackers. It can be used to find out delay in network communications, congestion experienced in the network, source and destination ports and other critical parameters of packets including MTU and signatures. In this paper, Protocol analysis is done by capturing the packets in transit, from a live network environment using network packet analyzing, and to identify protocol manipulation by hackers and unusual communications, attack signatures, unauthorized sniffing or ping sweep, scanning and hacker behavior / pattern. The result shows evaluation of bandwidth utilizations and an effective way of identifying threats.
