- An Introduction To Network Forensics
Have you ever heard of network forensics? Not everyone has but the meaning is actually very important. It basically means the recording, analyzing, and capturing of events on a network in order to determine how and why attacks on security occurred as well as other problems. Forensics typically refers to crime investigation but it has been borrowed and applied to the safety and investigation of security of networks. There are a couple of different types of network forensic systems for network monitoring. These include the systems that pretty much catch and store all information that passes through a certain point. A RAID system is typically needed for this and a lot of storage space is necessary for this method. The next option is when certain information from each packet is saved in memory in case it is needed for analysis in the future. A fast processor is typically needed although lots of storage is not as important. Of course, both methods require storing a lot of information and erasing the old periodically to make room for the new information. There are some open source programs that may be used as well as others.
