Network Forensic Search Engine

darht_aerial_view.jpgPictured here is the Los Alamos National Laboratory. This is where much of the creation and testing of this new Network Forensic Search Engine has taken place. There is now a real time netflow security product that is available for free download from Packet Analytics. I had to do a little reading before I grasped what all this is about, but it makes sense to me now. Searchability is a powerful element to add to any data stream. The search function on Gmail has saved my butt many times over. When you can create searchability that allows you to dig deep into your network security alerts, you can solve problems and avert catastrophe much more efficiently.

  1. Thanks! Searchability can be a real friend to people investigating something - real enemy to people with a lot to hide.
