Network Security Monitoring System

This research is concerned with the design and implementation of a network security monitoring system. A focus was put on monitoring the shared network resources (specifically filing system). In this work, the layers of TCP/IP suite have been studied and their roles in the process of network monitoring were defined, it was found that the internet layer can play the major role. Also, in this project a filing index system to index the files of network resources was built.The layout of the established monitoring system is composed of two major units (i.e., monitoring and administration units). The monitoring unit works on client side; it monitors all users’ accesses to network resources by
