Abstract: Network monitoring systems, computer-readable storage media, and methods monitor a network. Communication data is captured from the network in a substantially passive manner. The communication data is organized to represent a plurality of conversations between a plurality of hosts on the network. Each conversation of the plurality includes a first address of a first host of the plurality of hosts, a service port identifier on the first host, and a second address of a second host of the plurality of hosts. Information correlated to at least some of the plurality of conversations is presented on a graphical user interface.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting at least one explosive in a vehicle using a neutron generator and a plurality of NaI detectors. Spectra read from the detectors is calibrated by performing Gaussian peak fitting to define peak regions, locating a Na peak and an annihilation peak doublet, assigning a predetermined energy level to one peak in the doublet, and predicting a hydrogen peak location based on a location of at least one peak of the doublet. The spectra are gain shifted to a common calibration, summed for respective groups of NaI detectors, and nitrogen detection analysis performed on the summed spectra for each group.
