Details:

The "DNS Blackhole Detection System" is a solution designed as a workaround to collect DNS logs within an Enterprise Security Module (ESM). Its purpose is to filter and focus on significant request information by acting as a "black hole" for less important data. This document outlines the high-level overview of setting up and configuring this system, providing guidance for organizations looking to implement such a solution. The capability was created by Daniel Slack and later modified by Luke LeBoeuf; it is version 2 and available for download in a .docx format with a file size of 57.7 KB. This appears to be a user interface screen capture or screenshot of a web-based communication tool called iRock, developed by Jive Software. The URL provided is https://irock.jiveon.com. Here's a summary of the information displayed on the screen: 1. **Header and Navigation**: At the top, there are navigation links including "Home," "Top of page," and "Help." 2. **Software Version Information**: Below the header, it mentions Jive Software Version: 8.0.0.0 8c3.1, revision: 20140911132753.fcfdf12.release_8c3. This indicates the version and build details of the software being used. 3. **Main Sections**: The main sections include "Rooms," "Contacts," and a section titled "Viewing now." 4. **Detailed View in "Viewing Now" Section**: Inside this section, there is a count indicating that currently 1 person is viewing: "Viewing now (1)." There's also an option to start a conversation ("Start Conversation"). 5. **Status Indicators for Contacts**: Below the main sections, you can find various status indicators for contacts under the heading "Contacts": Available, Busy, Invisible, and Offline. 6. **Notifications and Connection Status**: The user interface includes options for managing web notifications (off) and displaying connection status with a message: "Connection Lost" and an option to reload the page. 7. **Version Footer**: At the bottom, it mentions the copyright information (© 2007-2014 Jive Software), followed by legal links ("Home," "Top of page," and "Help"). This screenshot seems to be from a user interface of an application where users can communicate or interact through various web features provided by iRock, possibly part of a corporate communication suite.
