analysis of cyber security data, progressive visual analytics and explainable AI.
Session
This talk presents NetCapVis, a visual analytics tool that allows users to easily overview PCAP data and quickly filter to relevant data.
While Wireshark excels at data processing, its data presentation is complex, and operating it efficiently requires expertise.
NetCapVis is the result of a research project and is under development. New research ideas focus on AI classification of packets and explainable AI visualization.
One possible future direction is to collaborate on connecting the visual-interactive dashboard to Wireshark as a plugin.
The talk will focus on three core topics.
1. Visual-Interactive Analysis
2. AI Classification and Explainable AI
3. The combination of the visual-interactive dashboard and Wireshark
