How to set up the EVE-NG network emulator on a Linux system
EVE-NG is a graphical network emulator that supports both commercial and open-source router images. It’s graphical user interface runs in a web browser. EVE-NG runs in a virtual machine so it can be set up Windows, Mac OS, or Linux computers.
In this post, I will show how to set up an EVE-NG virtual machine on an Ubuntu Linux system. I’ll show the basic steps to creating and running a simple lab consisting of emulated Linux nodes.
To support more complex labs using open-source routers and other open-source network appliances in EVE-NG, we need to create custom templates and build router images specifically for use in EVE-NG. I will cover these topics in a future post. In this post, we’ll focus only on getting an EVE-NG virtual machine set up and running on a Linux system.
EVE-NG Overview
EVE-NG is a clientless network emulator that provides a user interface via a browser. Users may create network nodes from a library of templates, connect them together, and configure them. Advanced users or administrators may add software images to the library and build custom templates to support almost any network scenario.
EVE-NG supports pre-configured multiple hypervisors on one virtual machine. It runs Continue reading
The key functions to consider when building or buying a log analysis platform
This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter’s approach.
“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” The immortal words of Confucius resonate with anyone who has ever tried to glean useful information from log data.
There are consensus-driven definitions of what exactly log analysis is, but a simplified, accessible explanation might be: to organize log entries into a human-friendly display and make business decisions based on what you learn.

DDoS Ransom: An Offer You Can Refuse
Cloudflare has covered DDoS ransom groups several times in the past. First, we reported on the copycat group claiming to be the Armada Collective and then not too long afterwards, we covered the "new" Lizard Squad. While in both cases the groups made threats that were ultimately empty, these types of security events can send teams scrambling to determine the correct response. Teams in this situation can choose from three types of responses: pay the ransom and enable these groups to continue their operations, not pay and hope for the best, or prepare an action plan to get protected.
Breaking the Ransom Cycle
We can’t stress enough that you should never pay the ransom. We fully understand that in the moment when your website is being attacked it might seem like a reasonable solution, but by paying the ransom, you only perpetuate the DDoS ransom group’s activities and entice other would be ransomers to start making similar threats. In fact, we have seen reports of victim organizations receiving multiple subsequent threats after they have paid the ransom. It would seem these groups are sharing lists of organizations that pay, and those organizations are more likely to be targeted again in Continue reading
