Abstract

Knowing how to perform basic network forensics can go a long way in helping infosec analysts do some fundamental analysis to either crush the mundane or recognize when its time to pass the more serious attacks on to the the big boys. This presentation covers environment options for making your network monitor-able, three quick steps to triage and analyze alerts, and integrated distros that allows almost anyone with a general technical background to go from n00b to ninja (;)) in no time. Well … maybe not a “ninja” per se but the closing does address follow-on resources on the cheap for those wanting to dive deeper into the dark world of network forensics.
