Performing Network Analysis is imperative to best secure networks, productions systems or even at home. Using common analytics tools such as the ELK stack allows for advanced analytics on network traffic allowing for detection and prevention of network attacks. This series will cover setting up a monitoring environment, useful for any IT professional. Also, the tools allow for preventing certain cyber attacks, including automating this process of securing the network. In addition, thorough analytics of network data allows for advanced threat detection such as from network anomalies. This series will conclude by September.
Overview
How to analyze networks with Wireshark, Snort, and Security Onion tools
Project Introduction: The Network Analysis tutorial will cover the process of configuring, capturing, and analyzing network traffic with the common free tool. These tools are Wireshark, Snort, and the Security Onion OS which houses the ELK stack for network analytics. Network analysis that will be covered will be a basic configuration of turning these tools into useful Intrusion Detection and Prevention systems on your small to medium-sized network.
What are the requirements?:
- Operating system administration/configuration
- Basic command line experience
- Machine with 20GB storage and (ideally) 8GB memory
What is the target audience?:
- Monitoring home network
- Free solution to monitor small-medium network yourself
- Learning about network traffic and monitoring
- Learn about securing networks with ID/PS tools
Practice setting up IT environment for network monitoring
When are the streaming sessions (streaming schedule)? COMPLETED
