During an incident response, your security team needs a tool to capture and analyze network traffic in real-time to identify suspicious patterns. Which tool would be most appropriate for this task?
Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer that captures and analyzes network traffic in real-time. It includes various features for deep inspection and interactive browsing of the site traffic it captures, making it the ideal tool for identifying suspicious patterns during incident response. Other tools like Nessus, MISP, and SIEM have different primary functions such as vulnerability scanning, threat intelligence sharing, and correlating logs respectively, making them less suitable for this particular task.
