Information Gathering

This starting phase includes gathering information about the client’s network, size of the network, also the type of Network architecture they follow (IDS, IPS, Firewalls, switches, etc…).

Planning

In this phase based on the information gathered we plan to analyze the network, methods to follow and the usage of appropriate tools. It also includes the time frame to analyze depends on the size of network.

Capturing

This phase is acquiring Packets from the possible sources of relevant network, following procedures that preserve the integrity of the data. For example, acquisition is usually performed in a timely manner because of the likelihood of losing data such as current network connections.
