Pretty graphs for the malware detection (ftw?)
Security data visualization is definitely a promising and awesome way to look at your logs / ids alerts / firewall rules. I was recently introduced to secviz, a site showcasing the various graphing and plotting tools freely available to help visualize un-eye-popping log or plaintext data. Of particular interest to me was:
- How many times have you looked at a firewall rule set and collapse in anticipated mental exhaustion? Wouldn’t it be much nicer if someone just drew a picture of that rats nest? Enter Ruined which makes prettyful things like this:
- Monitoring server load sounds like a job for another server to do (agh infinite loop!) but with a couple RGB values and some squiggly math, you can produce load reports that look like this!
Take a peek at secviz and get inspired. What else would you make pretty pictures of?
