I did pretty well with the Prep Guide, missing maybe 10% of all the 300 questions so I figured it was time to schedule the exam and took it later that week. I bought the prep guide the weekend before my exam and went through all the questions, using that book to judge where I stand with the objectives. Once you finish with the Network Analysis book, this is where the Prep Guide comes in.

At the end of each the chapter the book points you toward PCAPs to test your newly learned knowledge which are available for free off the Wireshark book website. The other great piece I loved about this book was all the real world case studies, it’s one thing for a book to teach you topic but it’s completely differently for a book to show you how this knowledge is applied in the real world. This book will also cover all the WCNA Exam Objectives, making it an important resource if you are studying for this exam.

It is a large book with great material, a book you can keep on your book shelf at an arms length for years and still use for reference. To me, this book is to protocol analysis is what Routing TCP/IP Vol I & II is to a CCIE: R/S candidate. The network analysis book, while it is expensive is definitely worth it.

Having a few years a packet analysis behind me certainly helped, however the Wireshark WCNA Books from Wireshark University are absolutely fantastic! Protocol Analysis is definitely an interesting set of technologies to learn & know, it is also extremely beneficial for troubleshooting certain types of issues.

Once I finished up with the exam I can happily say I successfully past the exam which I have to admit is pretty cool. Well, I finally took the time to buckle down and take the WCNA – Wireshark Certified Network Analyst.
