Sniffers aren’t always bad news. In many cases, administrators use sniffing tools to maintain a steady flow of traffic through their networks. They can detect bandwidth hogs, such as anyone making heavy use of file-sharing programs, and then take appropriate action. The word “Sniffer” with ...
Firewalls act as a barrier between your network and potential threats. Configuring firewalls to allow only necessary traffic and blocking unauthorized access helps prevent sniffing attacks. They play a crucial role in securing your network perimeter and detecting and stopping malicious activities. How doe...
PSAD monitors network activity to detect and prevent potential intrusions -- repeated attempts to get in.But what about the applications/services your server is running, like SSH and Apache, where your firewall is configured to allow access in. Even though access may be allowed that do...
while an attacker only needs to find and exploit one weakness or vulnerability. This asymmetry highly favors attackers. The result is that even large enterprises struggle to prevent cybercriminals from monetizing access
Defending against Crescendo initially faced some practical problems. At first, we could not detect a “jailbreak intent” with standard prompt filtering, as each individual prompt is not, on its own, a threat, and keywords alone are insufficient to detect this type of harm. Onl...

THIS week I witnessed a genuine medical marvel while working with detection dogs. We are all familiar with the drugs dog at the airport, but who would have thought of using sniffer dogs in clinics? Yet dogs such as labradors are now not only being used to catch dealers, they are also ...
Many times, hackers install sniffer programs. These legitimate applications, such as Wireshark, Snort or tcpdump, are often used by security teams to monitor and analyze network traffic todetect issuesand vulnerabilities. However, these applications also can be used by bad actors to spot the same...
It helps in determining the amount of time a packet takes to travel from a sender to a receiver. Additionally, they can identify congested links, detect the apps generating an unusual amount of traffic, and take remedial actions to resolve the issue. With packet sniffers, teams can get ...
