Seattle Snort User Group Meeting Tuesday June 6 7:00 PM @ SSCC

[James Affeld <jamesaffeld () yahoo com>]

On Tuesday, 6/6 Russ McRee will present a talk on
Aanval, a console for Snort.  http://aanval.com

Aanval (www.aanval.com) is a console built to run as
Snort console via a web browser. What Aanval offers
that places it above and beyond ACID/BASE, is a
plethora of functionality, including extensive query
capacity, searching, and attractive reporting.

In an age of compliance, it is hugely beneficial to
have the capacity to draw the majority of network
security information from one platform. In our use of
Aanval we gain much information about outbound traffic
via the use of Bleeding Edge Snort signatures to
capture both IM and spyware traffic, as well as policy
violations.

My presentation will certainly evangelize Aanval,
largely from a technical enduser perspective, most
importantly as an information security professional.
Included would be whitepaper content specifically
geared to using Aanval for compliance measurement and
policy enforcement.

Background
