Abstract
These presentations and resource documents were provided at FloCon 2011, an open conference that provides operational network analysts, tool developers, and researchers a forum to discuss the analysis of large volumes of traffic to showcase the next generation of flow-based analysis techniques.
At FloCon 2011, participants focused on learning about their networks and confirming what we know about them. Participants explored a wide range of topics and discussed dark space, how many web servers you're actually operating, spam, and DNS servers and their susceptibility to cache poisoning.
