wiresharkbook.com access credentials

0

Hello guys, I'm not sure if this is the best place where to ask, but I'm sure some of you may know the answer. I've bought Wireshark101 by Laura Chappell and I must say it's quite interesting my issue is that:

www.wiresharkbook.com, where most of the supplementary content lies, is protected by a login. I haven't found the right credentials anywhere so far. Do you know how to access that website?

I've also sent an email to [email protected] without getting any answer.

Thanks in advance!

I see the login prompt now, but www.wiresharkbook.com has never been password protected before, and it was not password-protected a few days ago. I think this might be a temporary problem with the web site. Wait a while, maybe even until after the weekend, and try again.

www.wiresharkbook.com can now be accessed again without any login credentials.

Indeed it was a temporary issue :)

Well, despite the claims above, it is still asking for credentials ... Bit nasty since I have a wcna exam scheduled in 4 days. Any other source for the trace files ?

Not asking for credentials as of two minutes ago.

my mistake, somehow I switched to wiresharkbook.org which is asking for credentials. Wiresharkbook.com was giving certificate errors last sunday. Thanks,working now
