heise-offer: iX-workshop: analyzing and fixing network problems with Wireshark

A German-based training workshop focused on using Wireshark to analyze and resolve network issues has been announced with specific dates and structure. The event, titled iX-Workshop: Netzwerkprobleme mit Wireshark analysieren und beheben, is designed for IT professionals seeking to improve their ability to diagnose and fix network problems. It will take place in two sessions during September and November 2026, both conducted online. Each session spans three and a half days, with daily classes running from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Participants can benefit from a 10% early booking discount if they register before August 24, 2026, or October 19, 2026, respectively. The workshop aims to equip attendees with practical skills in using Wireshark, an open-source tool used for network analysis. Attendees will learn how to capture and interpret network traffic in real time, identify security risks, and systematically troubleshoot connectivity issues. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through interactive exercises and case studies. A dedicated lab environment will allow participants to practice capturing and analyzing data independently, applying filters, conducting analyses, and generating meaningful statistics. These activities are intended to help them evaluate performance bottlenecks, assess the impact of packet loss or latency, and develop structured approaches to problem-solving that can be applied directly in their work environments. The instructor for the workshop is Henrik Wahsner, a technical leader at NETCOR GmbH and an expert in performance analysis and troubleshooting within IP networks. With deep technical knowledge and extensive experience from real-world projects, Wahsner will guide participants through realistic scenarios, demonstrating how to efficiently identify and resolve network issues. The small group size, limited to a maximum of 20 participants, ensures a high level of interaction between trainees and the trainer, as well as among participants themselves. This setup allows for direct exchange of questions and insights, ensuring that all input receives practical, actionable responses. The workshop is targeted at network administrators and technical staff responsible for maintaining and analyzing networks. It caters to both beginners who are new to Wireshark and experienced users looking to enhance their analytical capabilities. By combining theoretical instruction with intensive practical application, the course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to leverage Wireshark effectively in diverse networking situations. Attendees will gain the confidence and tools needed to address common network challenges such as slow connections, recurring disruptions, and unrecognized security threats, ultimately contributing to improved network stability and reliability. Participants will have access to a variety of resources throughout the workshop, including detailed guides, examples, and opportunities to apply learned techniques immediately. The focus on real-world applications ensures that the skills gained are immediately applicable in professional settings. The workshop’s structure supports continuous learning and reinforcement, helping attendees build a solid foundation in network diagnostics and optimization. As the demand for reliable and secure network infrastructure continues to grow, this training offers valuable support for IT professionals aiming to stay ahead of evolving technical challenges.
