    October 1, CNET Networks - Unix Tools Track Hackers. You have
    determined
    that your network has been breached. There are two standard approaches
    on
    what to do next: Close the holes as fast as possible and put in
    safeguards
    to protect against future attacks. Identify the perpetrator and
    prepare for
    prosecution. Most organizations decide to close the holes as quickly
    as
    possible because the probability of actually catching an intruder is
    low.
    One method of gaining this information is by using tried-and-tested
    Unix
    networking tools usually employed in incident-response forensics.
