Bandwidth prediction tool?
by Luis Palma 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hi, Does anyone know a good Bandwidth Prediction tool?. We have a DPI solution based on SCE8000 + SM/CM from Cisco and we are looking a tool that can take a data from Collector Manager Database and make traffic Bandwidth prediction and customer behavior prediction. Any idea will be welcome. Regards,

Computer Networks Special Issue on Botnets: Deadline Extended to Dec. 19
by Guofei Gu 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

CFP: Special Issue of COMPUTER NETWORS (ELSEVIER) on "Botnet Activity: Analysis, Detection and Shutdown" Apologies for multiple copies of this announcement. ------------------------- Dear Colleagues, Please consider the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results to a SPECIAL ISSUE of COMPUTER NETWORKS (ELSEVIER journal) on "Botnet Activity: Analysis, Detection and Shutdown". The submission deadline is extended to December 19, 2011. http://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/ A pdf version of this CFP is available at http://faculty.cse.tamu.edu/guofei/CFP_COMNET-Botnets.pdf Please help distribute. Thanks! ------------------------- Large scale attacks and criminal activities experienced in recent years have exposed the Internet to serious security breaches, and alarmed the world regarding cyber crime. In the center of this problem are the so called botnets -- collections of infected zombie machines (bots) controlled by the botmaster to perpetrate malicious activities and massive attacks. Some recent botnets are composed of millions of infected machines, making use of this attack vector inevitably harmfully. Hence, it is paramount to detect, analyze and shutdown such overlay networks before they become active. Research on botnet activity is mostly related to detection and disruption. Detection of botnets has focused on monitoring bot activities, especially during the spread of malicious software to infect new hosts (initial infection phase) and the communication messages exchanged between bots and botmasters (rallying and updating phases). Some behavioral aspects are common: bots have to signal the botmaster informing they are alive, each time their hosts are started; bots send messages whenever connecting and joining with the botnet; the botmaster has to send commands to each zombie machine before initiating malicious activities. This special issue of Computer Networks is intended to foster the dissemination of high quality research in all aspects regarding botnet activity, detection and countermeasures. The objective of this special issue is to publish papers presenting detection algorithms, traffic monitoring and identification, protocols and architectures, as well as botnet modeling, behavior, simulation, statistics, dissemination, analysis, preventive procedures and possible countermeasures. Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or journal will be considered. We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to botnet research including, but not limited to: - Traffic Monitoring and Detection Algorithms - Data Collection, Statistics and Analysis - Modeling Behavior and Simulation - Protocols and Architectures (IRC, HTTP, P2P, etc) - Firewalls and IDS - Cyber Crime Case Studies - Reverse Engineering and Automated Analysis of Bots - Honeypots and Honeynets - New Platforms: Cellular and Wireless networks, Mobile devices, TV, etc. - Legal Issues and Countermeasures - Underground Markets, Vulnerability Markets and Zero-day Economics - Mini-Botnets Guest Editors Ronaldo Salles Military Institute of Engineering PraçGeneral Tibú 80, 22290-270, R.J.

Network device command line interfaces
by Jonathon Exley 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Does anyone else despair at the CLIs produced by networking vendors? Real routers use a CLI that is command based, like IOS, TiMOS or Junos. These interfaces work well over low bandwidth connections (unlike web interfaces), can work with config backup systems like RANCID, have a (mostly) consistent structure and good show commands. However vendors of low cost routers/switches/muxes seem to take a stab in the dark and produce some really nasty stuff. I have a personal hate of text based menus and binary config backup files. Doe this p*** off anyone else? The business part of the company says "This device is great! It's cheap and does everything." However the poor sap who is given the task to make it work has to wrestle with a badly designed user interface and illogical syntax. Maybe the vendors need some sort of best practices guide for what manageability features their kit needs to support to make them acceptable to the market. Does anyone know if there is anything along these lines? Jonathon.
