At the movie world we saw Avengers: Infinity War part 1 on movie screens. At the telecommunications industry we saw the infinity war is begin as well with T-Mobile and Sprint are merging to invest in 5G Mobile Network and market under T-Mobile name. This USD 26 billion deal will impact everyone, start from the
A generic Network forensic examination includes the following steps: Identification, preservation, collection, examination, analysis, presentation and Incident Response. Identification: recognizing and determining an incident based on network indicators. This step is significant since it has an impact in the following steps. Preservation: securing and isolating the state of physical and logical evidences from being altered,
This section shows where network forensic methods can be applied within the different network protocols or layers. Data-link and physical layer examined (Ethernet) Methods are achieved with eavesdropping bit streams on the Ethernet layer of the OSI model. This can be done using monitoring tools or sniffers such as Wireshark or Tcpdump, both of which
Network forensic investigators examine two primary sources: full-packet data capture, and log files from devices such as routers, proxy servers, and web servers—these files identify traffic patterns by capturing and storing source and destination IP addresses, TCP port, Domain Name Service (DNS) site names, and other information. Full-Packet Capture. The advantage of full-packet capture is that the content, and therefore
When someone asks if there is a way to monitor their virtual machine (VM), my first question is always, “What do you want to monitor?” The second question I ask is, “Do you have any existing server monitoring tools that you can use, and if so, how do they work?” These two questions lead administrators
Today, we’re going to take a look at a very critical monitoring and resource management aspect of the modern data center: Your virtualization layer (logical). Pretty much all analysts agree that today’s data center is the driving engine behind major business initiatives. Most of all, today’s organizations rely heavily on their data center to enable
Although there may be many x86 virtualization platforms, such as VMware ESX, Xen, Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 to name a few, monitoring is pretty much the same from one to the next. In this article, I will discuss what is involved in monitoring a virtual infrastructure, including monitoring the physical host servers, the virtual
Forensic analysis of network data allows investigators to reconstruct network activity during a particular period of time. These techniques are commonly used to investigate individuals suspected of crimes and to reconstruct the sequence of events that took place during a network-based information security incident. There are many network forensic analysis tools you can use, several
Virtualization Monitoring Virtualization monitoring ensures that a virtualized IT infrastructure performs optimally and that virtual resources are properly allocated. Virtualized infrastructure monitoring requires collecting and evaluating key performance indicators (KPIs) for both physical and virtual components. For example, VMware KPIs include: VMs Hosts Resource pools Datastores Clusters Data centers Because physical resources are shared between
Network forensics refers to investigations that obtain and analyze information about a network or network events. It is a specialized category within the more general field of digital forensics, which applies to all kinds of IT data investigations. Typically, network forensics refers to the specific network analysis that follows security attacks or other types of
