High-level packet analysis tools give us the overview of what’s on a network; they save us huge amounts of time. But every once in a while we look at these summaries and say “What the heck is going on with this system?”

In this talk we’ll look at both manual and semi-automated approaches to getting more detail out of your Zeek logs.
