ADRAMADA - Capture Network Traffic For Forensics (Note - microphone problems solved at 12 minutes)

Welcome to ADRAMADA, Another Dave Rush Ask Me Anything: Digital Alchemy
2024-04-25

Note - I didn't edit out the audio problems in the first 12 minutes because it causes the chat feed to be removed. Just jump to minute 12:00 and enjoy the show!

Big news: ADRAMADA has its own Discord Server. Join us on the ground floor as we build a broad range tech community! ADRAMADA Discord Invite:   / discord  

Each week, Dave discusses technology in the news and then presents a follow-along project. This week, Dave presents rationale and techniques to capture inbound and outbound network traffic. Because malware prevention isn't perfect, sometimes we have to fall back on investigation and sometimes, evidence gathering. One method of achieving both is to capture network traffic to and/or from a specific host, a set of hosts or even, storage space permitting, the entire network.

The technique is simple and only requires two pieces of gear: a host running packet capture software such as Tcpdump or WireShark and a managed switch. We'll look at internal-level switch architecture and see how this information lends itself to creating an effective (and clandestine) network capture environment. This is a powerful tool when it comes to network forensics. It is also a fun and simple project that add depth and breadth to working knowledge of network processes. Anyone with any level of network experience will benefit from watching this show so don't miss it!

ADRAMADA is a live and interactive, broad-spectrum technology forum where we'll talk about any digital technology from electric cars to electric guitars, music and movies, the synergy of energy, booting to computing, Linux to ethics, the chase to space, cyber to fibre, security to electricity and Raspberry Pi to Li-Fi to Sci-Fi and AI. All points in between and beyond. Of course, our old friends Raspberry Pi and Linux get strong nods in the mix. We work hard to bring you tech industry leaders, projects and tech in the news. The show is fact-based but open to opinion.

Note - this is a personal project and is not related to the works of my current or former employer. Other than that, any tech topic is fair game.
