NETWORK ACTIVITY AUDITING USING LINUX RUNNING OFF A LOOPBACK ROOT FILESYSTEM
Areas where network traffic auditing helps network administrators is to identify sources of network activities with regards to the quality of data transmission (such as packet losses and latency) and quantity of data transmitted (such as absolute number of bytes and packets, as well as their rate...

| Summary: | Areas where network traffic auditing helps network administrators is to identify
sources of network activities with regards to the quality of data transmission (such as
packet losses and latency) and quantity of data transmitted (such as absolute number
of bytes and packets, as well as their rate of transmission per second), which are used
to take the next step to remedy problems raised by them. In this project, we utilized a
Debian GNU/Linux operating system running off a Loopback Root Filesystem as a
network traffic auditing system. The project covers the design of the Linux system,
use of Argus (Audit Record Generation and Utilization System-a network traffic
auditing suite of tools), and the interpretation of the data gathered. The focus is to
evaluate the designed system, analyze the data gathered and propose the next steps to
improve the network traffic auditing system and the network it has audited. |
