They are currently offering a 30-day free trial. For this project we will be using Humio as a repository. The Corelight software sensor sniffs a monitoring interface and exports JSON formatted Zeek logs, Suricata logs, and/or extracted files locally or to a repository of your choice. Raspberry Pi 4 - CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 8GB Starter Kit - 8GB RAM So, I decided to purchase some new components.

After trying to install I received the rainbow screen of death upon reboot of the device. I first attempted this project with stuff I had around the house, but quickly realized my Raspberry Pi 2 was not up to the challenge. I found more details for the project through Jonathan Singer’s post on Youtube. It helps you answer some questions such as: What kind of encryption do your devices use? How many devices are there on my network? Who’s reaching out to whom, and What services are in use? The title of the blog post is “Who’s your fridge talking to at night?” and you can find it here. The sensor gives you visibility of your home network traffic and can operate as a network detection and response tool. After a quick search I came across a blog post by Gary Fisk from Corelight that talked about how their sensor software is now available to run on a Raspberry Pi.

With all this technology at home, I was interested to see what kind of devices are communicating over my home network and figure out what they are up to. As more people work from home, more companies are requiring strict security measures for their employee’s home networks. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work has been crucial in continuing business operations. Telecommuting and Corporate IT Requirements: Working from home is the future workplace. Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney+ and Twitch are some of the largest consumers of internet bandwidth today and show no sign of slowing down. Security, Monitoring & Automation: More and more sensors and other devices are becoming IP enabled and need network connectivity to function. The list goes on and on.Ĭurrent areas that are impacting home networks: There is an ever-increasing number of devices in a home that connect to the internet tablets, smartphones, laptops, smart-TVs, game consoles, smart appliances. Home networking is becoming more and more complex.
