Configuration

Sample configuration
Scalability
Discrete Capturer/Analyzer
Discrete Capturer/Analyzer configuration will minimize the chance of packet capturing operation interrupted by PacketBlackHole overload or hardware failure. You can choose virtualized analyzer as well to reduce cost.
Bridge mode configuration for lossless capture
Installing PacketBlackHole in bridge mode reduces packet capture loss rate down to zero in effect.
Bypass device for fail safe
If you are concerned about your backbone network connection interrupted by PacketBlackHole outage, install EtherGazer together with PacketBlackHole. EtherGazer will effectively bypass bridge-mode PacketBlackHole in case of PacketBlackHole failure to keep your WAN connected.
Complete preservation
Limits access from unauthorized terminal
Prevents externally oriented alteration or deletion, for complete preservation of data
In case of an incident, PacketBlackHole is ready to help you examine the details of attack or intrusion.
Inconsiderate initial response and the consequent incomplete preservation of evidence may well spoil the credibility of investigation later on. Let PacketBlackHole do the preservation part for you.
Captured communication packets are kept secure and free of alteration.
Credibility of evidence
PacketBlackHole
print format meets forensic needs.

Use PacketBlackHole for forensic investigation.
PacketBlackHole prints the data out so as to meet the requirements of forensic procedure.
Submit this as investigation report document when necessity arises.
Selective recording
Filter the recordings by IP address, MAC address, or port number to limit the target communication.

Suspected unauthorized access communication can be picked up.
Preclude unnecessary third party data when submitting a report to avoid privacy infringement.
