Boston Linux Meeting Wednesday, January 17, 2006 Dynamic Network Mapping (PBNJ + Nmap)

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

When: January 17, 2006 7:00PM (6:30 for Q&A)
Topic: Dynamic Network Mapping (PBNJ + Nmap)
Moderators: Josh Abraham, Northeastern University
Location:  MIT Building E51 Room 372 
Note: This location has changed since last month. 

An overview of existing network mapping tools and limitations,
including a discussion of dynamic network mapping.

Session from LinuxWorld Expo San Fran, Aug 2006: This presentation will
first cover existing network mapping tools along with their
limitations. Then I describe our proposed new technique for handling
the information from network mapping scans. This information is first
stored in a database. Using this technique one is able to extract the
information that is most useful about the machines that have been
scanned through standard database queries. For example, monitoring
services availability and temporal changes becomes straightforward. We
come to the conclusion that using such a technique leads to a more
effective method of network scanning.
