The chips have come a long way through and have seen many developments. Intel one of the pioneers in the field should be given due credit for all the advancements in technology which we are enjoying today. They have added one more feather to the hat by producing a chip with 2 billion transistors. The chip named Tukwila will be used in high end servers.
The rumors surrounding phone will never cease and God only knows when we can get to touch the god damn gadget. After the hype which surrounded the release of the Iphone in the last year mid many expected Google to follow suit and much to the surprise of every one Google announced the Android development platform. The first mobile powered by Android may be up any time around now.
In any network analysis of data flow is very crucial and many times you will have any significant tool that will help you to perform netflow analysis and take an action when a network alert arises. Packet Analytics has come up with a nice solution which will allow to monitor the alerts in real time. The Forensic Search Algorithm has been devised based on the algorithms that have been effectively used.
Packet Analytics Launches Net/FSE, Free Downloadable
Network Forensic Search Engine
Browser-Based Workflow Solution Provides Security Analysts with Real-Time Forensic and
Analysis of Terabytes of NetFlow Data
Santa Fe, N.M. – January 22, 2008 – Packet Analytics, a network security tools company today launched Net/FSE, the Network Forensic Search Engine. Net/FSE is the first commercial search engine for enterprise network data to focus on security incident response by harnessing the power of NetFlow data. It is designed to exploit the forensic potential of NetFlow data to dig deep into network alerts.
A browser-based workflow tool for security analysts, Net/FSE employs proprietary search technology licensed exclusively from Los Alamos National Laboratory where it was developed and battle tested for five years. Net/FSE allows network security analysts to respond rapidly to network alerts and anomalies by analyzing terabytes of NetFlow router data in real-time through a highly scalable search engine. A commonly overlooked network data resource because of its voluminous nature and predominate use in IT engineering operations, NetFlow data can be a powerful source of forensic information for security analysis.
“We purchased and deployed Net/FSE at Los Alamos National Bank to give us visibility into our NetFlow router data in addition to our other network data,” said David McCullough, Chief Technical Officer for Los Alamos National Bank. “Before Net/FSE when we needed to perform a network security investigation it was taking us as much as day to answer one investigative question. Now, we’re able to answer that same question in a matter of minutes.”
“Our research consistently indicates that flow data, including NetFlow, will be increasingly leveraged to improve network security and operations,” said Derek E. Brink, vice president and research director for IT Security, Aberdeen Group. “Overall, organizations surveyed indicate about 90% year-over-year growth in deployment of solutions that leverage network flow data, based on planned use in the next 12 months versus current use.”
Typically, when a network security alert is generated in an enterprise firewall, intrusion detection system or security information management system the security analysts do not have access to the necessary context that allows them to definitively and effectively respond to the event. Net/FSE allows analysts to collect and quickly search all of their NetFlow and other network data to determine the impact of the alert and effectively respond.
“Security breaches can happen to any company. It’s not a matter of if, but when they will occur,” said Andy Alsop, CEO of Packet Analytics. “Net/FSE was built by security analysts for security analysts so that enterprises have access to advanced search capabilities over terabytes of NetFlow router data. Our product will save analysts a significant amount of time in their routine alert investigations, making them more efficient and dramatically decreasing response time.”
Net/FSE requires little or no administration and can be quickly installed by the customer on commodity servers running a Linux operating system. Deployed as a browser-based solution, analysts can search through terabytes of data from anywhere on the network.
Net/FSE is available as a free download with full functionality at www.packetanalytics.com.

This could be the biggest news and has been official, Microsoft has sent a letter to the board of directors of Yahoo extending a business partnership/acquisition at the rate of $31 per yahoo share. The total deal is worth $45 billion and also Microsoft is willing to pay more as per the sources. Earlier Microsoft showed interest during May of 2007 but this time it is more stronger and also at the right time when Yahoo is in crisis. Microsoft combined with yahoo will be massive and give a stiff competition to Google.
I know a lot of folks who keep twitting like anything where ever they are. It is like some sort of an addiction for want of a better word!

The Amazon kindle is really kindling hot and there is lot of demand for it in the market. The device is being sold for multi fold prices on sites like ebay and it is a great day for those it got it in the first place. The e book reader is said to be much convenient and does not strain the eyes. One factor is that many did not like the looks of the kindle!
Can you guess which company is currently in the number 5 position of the top companies in the United States of Ameerica. It is Google Inc! A company started by two young lads around a decade ago has taken a big wave and pushed down some of the major companies who have been playing around for decades. Currently at a market cap of 217 billion dollars no doubt Google will strive hard to reach the top spot!
