Stethoscope

The tasks of detecting network problems and monitoring network activity confront any network administrator and many users on an almost daily basis. It can take weeks or months to record, index and parse traffic, identify error sources, analyze network vulnerabilities and analyze network activity. SSECline provides a convenient and easy-to-use tool to analyze network communications and control user network activity on the Internet - the Stethoscope program.

It is based on the principle of traffic control with subsequent recording to disk and data analysis. Analyzers perform dynamic identification of protocols, decrypt content, obtain meta-information about sessions and transfer the collected data to an indexer. The indexer writes information about sessions to the database, which becomes available to the user in a special management and monitoring console.

Who will benefit from the program to control and analyze network activity Stethoscope:

• Services that are responsible for network security and are involved in investigating network incidents;

Geolocation and detection of a large number of application layer protocols are supported. A flexible system of traffic statistics filtering is implemented, allowing to obtain slices by different attributes of accumulated data and to investigate network anomalies.
