Introduction to IPAuditAdded by Papergrl
Description:
Packet analysis tools like IPAudit help fill the gaps left by an IDS system or an IPS system. How does it do this? An IDS looks for certain signatures or behavior and can alert and log. An IPS looks for the same anomalies but can prevent the attack. Both of these technologies can greatly increase the security of your network -- however, what happens if they miss an attack? How would you know? Even if the IDS sensor matches a packet, a machine can still become compromised. When this happens how do you tell what happened on the network after the compromise? IPAudit can help fill the gaps, in addition to providing you with useful information about your network beyond specific security events.
