CBTLinuxtraining: BPF Edition

upa_kid — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:37:26 +0000

LinuxCBT BPF Edition focuses on the implementation of Berkeley Packet Filters with common network analysis tools: TCPDump, Snort, and WireShark.

The ability to efficiently filter network traffic on today’s high-throughput networks is key to proper recording and analysis. Various network intersections move disparate traffic, depending on perspective. Consequently, it can be superfluous to filter inappropriately, resulting in mounds of unparseable data.

If you are/will be responsible for handling packet logging and analysis for your organization, you will invariably search for inherent efficiencies that Berkeley Packet Filters (BPF) provide.

Let LinuxCBT BPF Edition cost-effectively strengthen your ability to parse network traffic!
