New Security Sensor Gives Admins Better View of Network Attacks (eWeek)

EWeek introduces Hone, a security tool developed by the US Department of Energy (DOE). "Hone gives users a “’glanceable’ type of view of what’s happening on the network and what’s happening on the machine,” [Hone creater Glenn Fink] said. Hone also is a tool that has uses beyond understanding and responding to attacks, Fink said. It can be used to help programmers debug new networked applications being developed. In addition, security administrators can use data from Hone to ensure that only certain processes on their systems can communicate with the network, and to monitor what their systems are doing, which would help them identify such threats as viruses, spyware and rootkits."
