SSG Derek Scheller - So, Learn:
Event log files
Dissecting TCP packets (Wireshark?)
Splunk/ArcSight

Alright. And the fun begins.

One of the best ways to capture the traffic is run TCPDump and export it to a .pcap and then stop it once you feel you have enough traffic. This includes sending/receiving files as well as logins so that you can see what everything will look like in Wireshark. Finally try to get your hands on trial versions of software like Savvius' Omnipeek as it can break down data flow and timelines a lot better.

SSG Derek Scheller - Will that Omnipeek also help me understand the results from the TCP packets ?
