Sphere Of Influence 2.0

As promised once I managed to get 2.0 out I would make 1.0 a free download. 2.0 we've added the world map, timeline and organizational data. What was interesting was we started to look for "soft" targets, home users, colleges etc. The places that hackers tend to "train" on...( I know that some colleges and home users are built like fort Knox : )
When we started to use the filters on the timeline, specifically looking for universites it opened up a whole new avenue for exploration. I found a couple of systems with possible "interesting" traffic not detected by my snort, Cisco IPS or symantec software. We're in the process of adding an hourly report. I wanted this to be similar to the hourly wrap conducted by most organizations..ie looking for "strange" traffic (low port to low port, multiple connections to new ip addresses but source port remaining the same etc etc...anything that we would consider "crafted" or maybe unusual.) I think the timeline gives an interesting filter approach to visually looking at the data...we have some other stuff up our sleeve (especially with the timeline...but also about displaying the hourly datasets....I thought about a "virus" like approach with "cells" representing events, but turning darker and mutating if they meet preconditions...i know it sounds strange but in my head it seems to work :) )

you can download the free "lite" version (no timeline, no world map, no organizational data etc but should give you an idea how easy it is to set up)
