Network Associates Buys "Better Carnivore" [Slashdot]

From the DragNet Press release:

[...]

DragNet is designed to operate at Gigabit speeds and enables users to retrieve and analyze information after it has been written onto a patent-pending, next-generation disk storage sub-system. Using this stream-to-disk technology, users are able to reconstruct a Web session, reproduce a transferred file via the file transfer protocol (FTP) process, or recreate a previous email without affecting the capture process.

"As we searched for the best way to leverage the power of our innovative DragNet technology, we evaluated numerous companies and found that Network Associates offered by far the most viable and best implementation strategy for the Traxess product," said Ralph Yarro, chairman of Traxess. "Considering the number of years we have spent researching, developing and delivering the DragNet system, we wanted to ensure that it would be successfully introduced to the industry by a company as committed to security as Network Associates."

A prototype of the DragNet technology is currently operating and is scheduled to be available on the Sniffer network analyzer platform by the second quarter of 2003.

Traxess offers a comprehensive stream-to-disk technology for the capture, storage and re-creation of all network data traffic, including network traffic on Gigabit speed networks. Based in Lindon, UT, Traxess is part of the Canopy Group portfolio of high-tech companies.
