We approach analytics as an extension of the human brain, rather than trying to make the analytics behave more like a human. We want to "see" abstract data and open the way to gamification of network operations, such as the crowdsourcing network defense. At THOTCON 0x6 we provided a discussion and demo of our immersive network data visualization concept with five open-source components: i) an open source sensor, ii) an open source streaming ingest engine, iii) a curation layer that uses a pluggable Python library, iv) a construct that creates a visual language of networking to interface the platform and other services, and v) a set of visualizations that provide immersive, intuitive visuals of the data. Since THOTCON 0x6, we have focused on developing the analytics, visualization library, sensor tools, and the user framework to make the system simpler, easier to deploy, and easier to play with and use the tools. For THOTCON 0x7, we want to provide an update presentation and demonstration of the system, but also want a live alpha demo running throughout the Con on live data that attendees can play with (so, if possible, we would like to present early). We will present and demo: 1. An overview of our approach, conceptual and physical architecture 2. We would like to either sensor a specific address space of the THOTCON 0x7 OPEN network, or set up a separate wireless network (with full disclosure) and provide tool access so that we can demonstrate the system live throughout the con. We would like to set up: a. Network sensors (either on THOTCON 0x7 OPEN network or a network we set up), b. The streaming, curation, and visual language engines, c. Monitors that will allow con attendees to see live data visualizations, and the ability to create their own traffic on the network and see what it does to the visualizations 3. We would demo the platform live in our talk and then be around to help folks play with it
