Hmm, I dug for quite a bit and could not find anything other
than the FAQ's. Technical information I could not find.
Could you forward me the link?

Yes, I know that is what it's purpose is, in theory. In practice,
99% of the cost to deploy/maintain is spent on Eww's & Ahh's;
and rarely is action taken. Slap's on wrists in most cases (from my experience).
But, that is a whole other discussion for another board.

Thanks for the input, I'll dig some more but would really
appreciate some links if anyone has a couple. I am just trying
to educate myself on the technical aspects behind monitoring
and forensics of computers and networks.
