Tech Tip Tuesday – PacketTotal

Analyzing gigs of network packets isn’t your thing? Give PacketTotal a try. Simply upload you PCAP and PacketTotal will run your captured traffic against Bro and Suricata and then index your data with Elasticsearch to make searching easier. PacketTotal will extract artifacts, reconstruct connections and give you drill-down analysis to help you understand your traffic. This is a website on the Internet so be careful not to release any company secrets, PII, HIPPA, PCI, etc. You can also search through other PCAP submissions to get more comfortable with network packet analysis.

Tech Tip Tuesday – Microsoft Patch Tues… wait

Microsoft hit the pause button on Patch Tuesday. This is a big deal if you were hoping to patch the SMB version 3 vulnerability which allows attackers to “blue screen” fully patched Windows 10 and 8.1 machines. For now you should block SMB v3 traffic from leaving your network. This at least limits the attack surface to your local network.
