Our journey into the realm of network forensics has begun. We started out by identifying the characteristics that would make us 007 in the network forensics world. This was followed by learning about the TAARA methodology for investigations. We also learned about the various threats to an enterprise while strengthening our technical fundamentals. By the end of the chapter, we deepened our understanding of network security as well as network forensics.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to identify the different sources of evidence that are essential for a network forensic investigation. We will also learn how to collect and safely handle the evidence. So...let's get started!!!
