It has been a while since I have posted a walkthrough and I was just thinking about this network traffic analysis challenge since I was sharing it with a friend to use for a CTF for high school students. I will be using Wireshark for the walk-through. Another possible tool to use is Network Miner. The challenge file is june2020.pcapng and there are twelve questions.

Question 1. How many ping requests were sent in the june2020.pcapng capture?
