The military has been interested in this sort of technology for years. Silent Runner received a patent for their technology. IF Scanmap3d displays alerts, that’s interesting. I wonder if it could be adapted to display session data, perhaps from Argus? I haven’t tried this yet, but called ScanMap3d is available to visually depict Snort alerts. “The U.S. Department of Commerce Patent and Trademark Office issued Patent #6,549,208 for SilentRunners technology architecture that enables digital data input from external sensors.”]
