Home Network Awareness Program Announced


03/18/08 


The Neighborhood Network Watch announced today the start of a new community
program, the Home Network Awareness Program (HNAP). HNAP is aimed at
providing an easy way for people to get involved and to contribute to the
efforts of the Neighborhood Network Watch as well as providing the group
with valuable information on the states of networks that reside in the homes
of our nation. 

Participants in HNAP would collect sample network traffic from their own
home networks as well as samples from networks within the vicinity. The
Neighborhood Network Watch will be making a set of freely available
instructions on how to capture network traffic, using the open source packet
sniffer TCPDUMP, and how to log onto nearby wireless networks that maybe
being operated by neighbors. 

These samples of network traffic would then be sent to the Neighborhood
Network Watch for analysis using the latest revision of the NNWKAA. The
participants would then be sent back a rating for each network along with a
rating for the area as a whole. 

This allows the participants to not only find out how their own home network
is being used but also valuable information about those around their home
that may have large amounts of terrorist related traffic flowing over them.
This also provides the Neighborhood Network Watch with the ability to see if
there is potential terrorist cell activity in or around the participants
homes. 

The Neighborhood Network Watch will also be releasing a new public service
announcement highlighting the goals of HNAP and a how to section on how to
search for networks as well as how to capture network traffic.
