tool based on the popular Quake Arena game.
The software has been developed by a group of researchers at the
Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia, and is completely based
on the Open Arena platform, an open-source computer game. The Quake III
Arena derivative is able to display system events in a
three-dimensional form, just like the older Doom game, once used to
display the currently running processes.
Called the L3DGEWorld, the new piece of software goes deeper into the
network than the archaic Linux-based Doom software developed by a
researcher at the University of New Mexico. The researchers planned to
create their own rendering engine, but they came up with the idea that
Open Arena would do just fine with a couple of tweaks and adjustments.
The system allows researchers to visually monitor the status of a few
server machines. As you can see in the attached video, the computers
are represented by pyramids which can be customized with up to seven
different ways to reflect their actual status. For instance, system
administrators can use multiple colors, make them bounce, as well as
have them rotate or change their shape.
Moreover,
system administrators can interact with the servers using virtual
tools, shaped as weapons. When shooting a server with one of the
weapons, the system administrator would perform a specific action, such
as locking down a firewall or getting further information about a
system.
The network analysis tool is not only fun to use, but also takes
interaction between the human and the machine to a completely new
level. At the same time, network managers and system administrators can
have all the vital data in plain view, in a comprehensive and intuitive
manner.
