What is a Network Protocol?
A network protocol is a set of rules that govern the communication between devices over a computer network. It specifies how data is transmitted over a network, how devices identify and authenticate each other, the format of the data, the order in which the data is sent, how errors are handled, and how data is recovered if it is lost or corrupted during transmission.
Network protocols define the methods by which devices communicate with each other, enabling them to send and receive data, establish connections, and manage network resources.
By using predefined protocols, devices from different manufacturers and running different software can communicate with each other seamlessly. This enables networks to function reliably and efficiently, and facilitates the exchange of information between devices across the globe.
At WireX Systems we analyze over a hundred different protocols and extract thousands of different attributes and commands from protocol payloads. Here is a sample list of protocols, describing how these protocols work, what are they used for, how they were used in an attack scenario and relevant correlation to the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework as well as sample attributes that WireX Systems is analyzing, extracting, compressing and indexing from the protocol payload.
