What is Leak Detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying and isolating network leaks, which are unauthorized connections to your local area network (LAN) or internet. These leaks can cause a range of issues, including data theft, malware infections, and compromised security.
Why is Leak Detection Important?
Leak detection is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of your network. By identifying and fixing leaks, you can prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and reduce the risk of malware infections.
- Lack of leak detection can lead to financial losses due to stolen data or compromised systems.
- Malware infections can compromise security and cause significant damage to your network.
How to Detect Leaks
There are several ways to detect leaks, including:
- CAP (Capture Address Protocol) - A protocol used for network traffic analysis.
- Wireshark - A network protocol analyzer tool.
- Network monitoring software - Tools like Nagios or SolarWinds.
