Protocol Deep Dive: DNS
Billions of number sets are impossible to remember, that's why DNS is critical to internal networks and the Internet. This course will teach you how DNS works from configuration to security. Packets will be analyzed with Wireshark at every step.
What you'll learn
Almost every application depends on DNS name resolution. Users just don’t want to memorize or lookup an IP address. In this course, Protocol Deep Dive: DNS, you’ll learn to use DNS in a variety of scenarios. First, you’ll explore DNS terminology and use cases.
