      Solid introduction to WireShark for beginners and a good reference for the intermediate level user. I appreciate the fact that Mr Baxter touches one some of WireShark's more advanced customizations and visualizations. I still find many network professionals who've never used these. While he certainly can’t go through every bullet point, in each dialog he does cover enough ground in enough detail to allow the reader to intuit other capabilities. As an example, his description of how to decrypt SSL in the “Preferences” dialog should hint that you can do the same for ISAKMP. I’m only semi-disappointed that he doesn’t include a table of display filters although he does give some good examples.
