Hi,

I just have a few questions I would like to ask an admin or maybe someone else could help with answering.

I'm doing some research on network maintenance and finding and fixing vulnerabilities. So i'm trying to design an ongoing assessment plan. Would anyone be able to tell me what programs they use or what sort of procedures they go through for performing monthly check ups.

Cheers,

Jack

Nagios - Constant eye on everything
Cacti / Network Weathermap - Throughput utilisation monitoring. Packet Loss. Router Loads etc
Splunk - Syslog Capture and Monitoring
Nessus - Vulnerability Monitoring
Nmap - Keep an eye on the servers and systems teams. Make sure there's nothing unexpected listening
Netflow (We use nfcapd/nfdump but there are plenty of commercial tools) - For digging into specific traffic

RSS for patches and updates. :) 




I work for a global Data Protection Software company - But my opinions are my own.
