Abstract

This report explores the field of visualisation of network and security log data, specifically the various issues surrounding the processing and graphical display of large quantities of information. A novel network traffic and security alert visualisation technique is proposed along with a method of grouping data in memory based on network addresses and temporal division. An overview of common problems in the area of data visualisation is made along with several suggestions on possible solutions.
