Cloud packet capture with AWS VPC traffic mirroring

At the end of the day, NOC and SOC teams need network packet captures to provide the evidence and detailed data necessary for experts to conclusively resolve issues. Our guest article for InfoSec Solutions Review addresses the importance of network captures, what they are, and how they are critical to IT and security workflows. Keep reading

This year, our own Sr. Technology Specialist Tom Peterson will be speaking at SharkFest US 2019, and we're proud to sponsor student participation in this year's event. Keep reading

Cisco Meraki devices allow you to perform remote packet capture and upload to CloudShark directly from your Meraki management system. Once in CloudShark, you can view, share, and analyze the captures with anyone, anywhere. Keep reading

Learn how to investigate security monitoring alerts using packet captures, from identification to remediation, and the steps you can take to organize and save your analysis for better reporting and retro-hunting in the future. Keep reading

Have you ever wondered what your “smart toaster” was sending back to the internet about you? Or how your WiFi dog food dispenser knows your schedule? Our engineer Tom did, but he didn’t have a great way to capture the network traffic sent by mobile and IoT devices. So he turned a Raspberry Pi into a access point/network proxy capable of capturing packets and decrypting SSL within CloudShark, and now you can too. Keep reading

We put together some packet capture examples of Chris Wellons' (nullprogram.com) endlessh tarpit tool to trap would-be scan-bots trying to probe your server for vulnerabilities. Keep reading

The percent of encrypted web traffic has doubled between 2015 and 2019. In this article, you'll learn how to make the best use of packet captures for troubleshooting even when the information you need has been encrypted. Keep reading

We love building capture challenges, and in the process we learn a lot about networking, packets, and the tools that exist to manipulate and generate them. It took around seventy-five individual pcaps to deliver our Holiday challenge. Settle in as we get into the details of how we create it all. Keep reading

Watch our expert panel learn how experts approach challenges like these, using the right tools to uncover often deeply hidden problems. Read on to see what tools we use to build packet capture challenges like this. Keep reading

In depth on creating a capture challenge using custom built captures Every so often we like to come up with a special capture challenge where people can use CloudShark to dive into some packet analysis and find the solution. But often the interesting story is about the methods we use to make the captures themselves - generating and capturing very specific packets to make the challenge interesting. Being packet geeks, it’s also really fun. Keep reading
