Description

LiveWire is an advanced platform for network packet capture and forensic analysis that meticulously gathers and archives detailed packet information across physical, virtual, on-premises, and cloud environments. It aims to provide Network Operations and Security teams with comprehensive insights into network traffic, spanning from data centers to SD-WAN edges, remote locations, and cloud infrastructures, effectively addressing the gaps left by monitoring that relies solely on telemetry. Featuring real-time packet capture capabilities, LiveWire allows for selective storage and analysis through sophisticated workflows, visualizations, and correlation tools; it intelligently identifies encrypted traffic and only retains essential data such as headers or metadata, optimizing disk space while maintaining forensic integrity. The platform further supports "intelligent packet capture," transforming packet-level information into enriched flow-based metadata, known as LiveFlow, which can seamlessly integrate with the associated monitoring tool, BlueCat LiveNX. Overall, LiveWire enhances the ability to analyze network traffic efficiently while ensuring critical data is preserved for future investigations.

Description

Snort stands as the leading Open Source Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) globally. This IPS utilizes a collection of rules designed to identify harmful network behavior, matching incoming packets against these criteria to issue alerts to users. Additionally, Snort can be configured to operate inline, effectively blocking these malicious packets. Its functionality is versatile, serving three main purposes: it can act as a packet sniffer similar to tcpdump, function as a packet logger that assists in troubleshooting network traffic, or serve as a comprehensive network intrusion prevention system. Available for download and suitable for both personal and commercial use, Snort requires configuration upon installation. After this setup, users gain access to two distinct sets of Snort rules: the "Community Ruleset" and the "Snort Subscriber Ruleset." The latter, created, tested, and validated by Cisco Talos, offers subscribers real-time updates of the ruleset as they become available to Cisco clients. In this way, users can stay ahead of emerging threats and ensure their network remains secure.
