The Wireshark Certified Analyst certification has been available for just over a month and professionals have already started leveraging it to validate and elevate their packet analysis skills.

Designed by the Wireshark Foundation with input from core developers and engineering educators, this rigorous certification tests both protocol knowledge (Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP, DNS, DHCP) and advanced troubleshooting using real-world Wireshark tools.

If you’ve been mastering packet captures and troubleshooting in the field, earning the WCA is a powerful way to showcase your expertise and stand out professionally.

I just posted this controversial post on LinkedIn. Let the blocking begin. (It might happen here, too).

“Hi Bob, I hope that you're well! Do you do migrations? I’m looking for someone who can help me with migrating my <number redacted> employee company from <Cloud Provider Name Redacted> to <Cloud Provider Name Redacted> and help us avoid any gotchas, as we will still be hosting our production site on <Cloud Provider Name Redacted> for the time being. I'm realizing that paying an expert in this case will save time and opportunity. Thanks much!”

“<Name redacted>, thank you so much for thinking of me. In this instance, I’m not the right person for the job. I’d be the one to call if you wanted to migrate out of a commercial cloud service and maintain your operations in your own server room, or on your (owned) equipment in a private data center. You need someone with good knowledge of <Cloud Provider Name Redacted> cloud products. I studiously avoid an architecture that I consider fundamentally flawed.”

If the current chaos in the USA has caused you to realize that it’s important to keep local control of your IT operations, I’m the Network Architect/Engineer who can help you with that.

#introduction

I left a long career and the #CISO role at a large university to lead #InfoSec and #NetworkEngineering at a small threat intelligence firm. Excitement, adventure, and really wild things have ensued.

To relax from all that, I enjoy #brewing & judging #beer, #bicycling, and #music, especially #ProgressiveRock. I'll likely be posting a lot on all these topics (unless Metatext implements unified timelines for multiple accounts 🤞). I'll try to remember to tag appropriately!
