Advanced HTTP and TLS Concepts (Video)

[DanielSpier]

This video covers many topics related to HTTP and TLS investigation, particularly in regards to NetWitness metadata and Wireshark fields. During the course of an investigation it’s important to have as much context as possible around typical behavior and false positive or false negative scenarios. This is especially true in use case development to ensure that coverage is maximized and that blind spots are minimized and understood.
