Network security is on everyone’s lips these days. It’s not new but the impact and the defense grow daily. In general, the biggest malware threat to networks comes from our users importing those threats. They come in as email attachments, compromised and malicious websites and malware hidden in applications. IT departments expend tremendous technical and human capital to prevent incoming malware with tools like firewalls. We also put effort into preventing unauthorized outgoing data such as corporate intellectual property. It’s a game of Whack-A-Mole but that is the nature of the beast, right? Another side of that coin is investigating risk and threats, along with the gathering of potential evidence. Logs are a good start but there’s more. It’s not too challenging to capture targeted connections or broad spectrum traffic to and from a network. It takes two pieces of to capture selected traffic, a managed switch and a host running an application, such as Tcpdump or WireShark, that can capture and store data. From there, the data can be read and evaluated in real time or can be stored for later review. Please join us this Thursday, April 25th at 7:00 PM Central (01:00a UTC) at https://lnkd.in/ggqge4Sw for our weekly live, interactive show. On this week’s show, we’ll look at the structure of selective data capture from targeted hosts or, if there’s enough storage space, capture all inbound and outbound packet on a network. We’ll use simple SOHO gear and a Raspberry Pi and that’s all that’s needed for a small network. Larger networks work the same way with the same gear but a little more “horse power” may be needed. Our weekly, interactive show includes a major topic as well as plenty of interactive tech talk, tech news of the week, projects and plain ol’ fun. If you can’t join us live, you can see the show anytime at the same link, in the play list anytime later. All of our previous shows are piling up in the playlist/archive. You just might find something you’ll like in one of our archived shows as well as the next upcoming episode. We have a ton of upcoming fun topics on our plate. We would love to hear what you want to talk about or who you want to hear from. Expect new and exciting additions every week. Hope to see you there. We are a community of folks who appreciate and love to find, talk about and adopt (and sometimes, reject) the latest technological innovations. Please join us on the ground floor of our newly created Discord server to accomplish these goals: https://lnkd.in/gY5D-gWY #ama #youtube #daverush #drushtx #adramada #managedswitch #packetcapture #wireshark #tcpdump #networksecurity
