myNetWatchman Review
Internet users (such as yourself) use myNetWatchman software (or the WebAgent browser form) to forward firewall log records to the myNetWatchman server. The server aggregates the data, backtraces the activity to its source, filters false alarms, and automatically sends escalation e-mails to the responsible party. The server also gathers response e-mails from the responsible party allowing you to monitor the progress of each incident. Very often the responsible party is alerted within 1-3 minutes of when you report an event.
myNetWatchman is free service (to individuals) which we will ultimately fund through subscription services to ISPs, corporations and other organizations. Here is a break down of the features:
  1. Automated attack reporting
    • automated agent software sends your attack data to our server with zero-effort.
  2. Comprehensive backtracing
    • myNetWatchman perform all backtracing for you. No more waiting on WHOIS servers or sending e-mails to addresses that bounce.
  3. False alarm filtering
    • With over 500 active agents sending real-time log records to the myNetWatchman server, myNetWatchman has a unique perspective on what is a real attack and what is likely a false positive.
  4. Incident aggregation/escalation
    • myNetWatchman aggregates attack data from all agents and sends a single, consolidated escalation to the responsible party--you don't have to lift a finger AND myNetWatchman reduces the volume of individual messages going to the service providers overloaded with SPAM complaints.
  5. Incident tracking
    • Your personal status page shows you the escalation status of all incidents for which you provided supporting evidence. You can see log detail submitted by other agents, and the full detail of all email exchanges with the responsible party.
  6. Reports/Statistics
    • myNetWatchman provides global reports that track top attack ports, port targets growing in popularity, suspected new trojan ports, attack sources by top-level domain, etc.
  7. NetKB Knowledgebase
    • Incident details provide port-by-port hotlinks to NetKB content detailing registered services that use that port, known vulnerabilities, known trojans, and/or security advisories.
