Learning

I am wondering what everyone is using for network security monitoring? I did a good search and there are so many options. I was also wondering if it is worth running a network monitoring software on a local network? Maybe it isn’t even worth running a tool like that on a local network? I don’t think people are trying to break into my local network, but was curious what others do.

Say I have virtual servers running that have the network card bridged. Is it worth having monitoring software installed and running for them as well?

As breifly discussed earlier I was looking at towards the aspect of IT and well Cyber security.

I decided for the first year I’m going to study IT & Psychology just so if I don’t like one or the other then I can switch to one main focus in second and third year or just simply study the one year without 100% committing to a degree head on and build on studies as required.

I think as it gets to October time there is some python coding to do probably fairly basic to some people but I’m certainly going to have to try learn that best I can or the basics anyway.

Hello, I remember reading an article from Mark where he created a honeypot to capture some IP address of a nigerian scammer. Some one in my family has been receiving death threats from someone online and wanted to setup my own website to capture information to submit to the police. Could someone guide me on how to create this? I was thinking of using AWS EC2 to host something, but would like to know more.
