Understanding network traffic anomalies | Learn with HTB
Think those strange network traffic spikes are harmless? Think again.
In this episode of Learn with HTB, our #cybersecurity expert @CyberStudies breaks down network anomaly detection, one of the most critical skills for #SOC analysts, blue teamers, and incident responders.
From unexpected port usage to unusual volume spikes, rare outbound destinations, and internal lateral movement, we’ll show you how to spot the signs of an attack before it becomes a breach. You’ll see a practical #Wireshark demo, learn real-world detection tips, and understand why the saying “the network doesn’t lie” is your best friend in cybersecurity.
