Wireshark Certification Program
About VLabSource and Virtual Labs Using PC virtualization technology, VLabSource will allow Wireshark University to evaluate a candidate’s ability to efficiently and effectively troubleshoot network communications and perform network forensics with Wireshark.
VLabSource will enable a Wireshark Certification Program candidate to log into a web-based interactive virtual lab environment and launch a real instance of Wireshark on a virtual network. The candidate will then demonstrate their ability to analyze a network by capturing network traffic and working on trace files captured in real-time. Using VLabSource’s proprietary progress monitoring technology, Wireshark University will score a candidate’s test based on the completion of numerous tasks that evaluate the candidate’s ability to troubleshoot and analyze network performance and security.
“Wireshark University’s goal is to ensure that every person certified under the Wireshark Certification Program has the skills they need to troubleshoot and analyze a real network,” said Laura Chappell, principal founder of Wireshark University. “Our partnership with VLabSource will help us achieve that goal by providing web-based tests that provide real life network analysis tasks.”
The Wireshark Certification Program strives to test a candidate's knowledge and ability to troubleshoot, optimize and secure a network based on evidence found by analyzing the traffic.
