Setting up Splunk for Event Correlation in Your Home Lab
- Aron Warren - Master's Degree Candidate
- Wednesday, June 25th, 7:15pm - 7:55pm
Masterās Presentation
Splunk is an ideal event correlation instrument for use in large enterprise environments down to small home laboratory networks such as those used by students. Splunkās appeal has grown over the past few years due to a number of factors: speed and amount of collectable data, a growing user base as well as new ways of exploiting its capabilities are discovered. This presentation will outline a student research home network Splunk installation including Internet taps, infrastructure used, query creation, and finally pulling multiple data sources together to track security events.
