Deep Packet Inspection Project

Deep packet inspection is a type of data processing which inspects in detail the data being sent over a computer network. Depending on the details within the data, deep packet inspection (DPI) programs will allow, block, reroute, or log data being sent.

Use a DPI tool to identify and analyze data being sent across a network. Set up a virtual lab with two host machines, send data between the two devices while the DPI tool monitors the communication between each device.
