Abstract
Systems and software that enable mapping of a particular network transaction with a specific computer and user in an organization. The network packet may be a live in-transit packet, or a packet that occurred at some time in the past. In a particular implementation, a database currently comprises a collection of records containing fields for username, computer name, IP address of the computer, and logon time. A name resolution is performed by taking an IP address and time as input, and determining from the records in the database what user's computer owned the IP address at that time.
