What are you doing with your traffic flow logs, such as NetFlow? How long does it normally take you to understand what exactly the log entries represent? What if you could generate a visual representation of the machines communicating on your network? Would that make your analysis work easier?
Great article! I have seen your book at the store and online and can't wait until I buy it! It will be my Xmas present. Until then I am using your manual (which is a excellent document). I plan to use Davix for Vulnerability assessment data and systems (IDS, Firewall, syslog) log data. You should get this tool approved by the Government agencies to use on their networks. SANS is using it and they are taking it in the right direction.

NetFlow Visualization
Thanks for the article. Traffic visualization is very important.
I thought you would like to know that Plixer International is doing some very interesting things with visualizing NetFlow traffic. They store long term data like most NetFlow tools, but they are definitely spicing things up with some very cool ways to look at the data.
Take a look.

Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

AISO founders envisioned a Web hosting company that was environmentally friendly. While the company employed energy-efficient innovations like solar panels, its infrastructure produced unacceptable power and cooling requirements. Find out how AISO leveraged AMD technology to overcome their challenge in this case study white paper.
In this whitepaper, Scalar explores the opportunity to change the landscape with respect to mission critical databases
built around Oracle. Leveraging technologies such as Linux, high-end commodity processing power and Oracle RAC
technology to architect, design, build and maintain database infrastructure that delivers maximum availability, reliability
and performance at a fraction of traditional cost.
On a typical day, weather.com, the Web site for The Weather Channel in Atlanta, serves up between 15 million and 20 million page views. But in September 2004, when back-to-back hurricanes ransacked Florida, the peak traffic on one day more than tripled: over 70 million page views by more than 7 million unique visitors. Read the full success story now.
