Network Traffic Analysis and Threat Detection Using Wireshark and Splunk

This project aims to analyze network traffic and detect suspicious activity within a simulated computer network environment. Network analysis tools and system log analysis platforms were used to monitor data traffic and identify abnormal patterns that may indicate cyberattacks. The project involves collecting and analyzing network traffic, reviewing system logs, and detecting suspicious behaviors such as unauthorized access attempts or abnormal network activity. Several cyberattack scenarios were also simulated and analyzed to understand how to detect and respond to them within a Security Operations Center (SOC) environment. This project demonstrates the importance of network monitoring and security data analysis in protecting systems and digital infrastructure from cyber threats.
