Network Analysis using Wireshark Cookbook
By :

Scanning is the process of sending packets to network devices in order to see who is answering the ping requests, to look for listening TCP/UDP ports, and to find which types of resources are shared on the network including system and application resources.
A scanning attack is usually detected by users complaining about slow network responses, management systems that discover unusual load on servers or communication lines, and when the attack is implemented also by Security Information and Event Management Systems (SIEM) that identifies suspicious usage patterns. In these cases, locate the Wireshark with port mirror as close as possible to the area that you suspect is infected, and start capture.
