When analyzing Wireshark traffic for potential attacks, an engineer should look for patterns that indicate abnormal behavior, such as:
* Excessive Requests: A high number of requests over a short period could suggest an attempt to overwhelm the server, known as an HTTP flood.
* Status Codes: Repeated 403 Forbidden responses may indicate that the server is rejecting requests due to a security rule being triggered.
* Request Types: A mix of GET and POST requests could be used in various attack scenarios, including bandwidth flooding or cache bypassing.
