Dualog Protect - Status Page

C2 DNS Requests
Displays computers attempting to communicate with known Command & Control (C2) domains. Each detection includes the affected vessel, client information and timestamps. These alerts often indicate malware such as ransomware or botnets. 

Blocked Site attempts
Shows attempts to access domains classified as malicious. Counts update immediately whenever another access attempt occurs, making it easy to spot recurring activity.

Ship Status and DNS Activity
The dashboard also reports which vessels are online and graphs the DNS request volume processed by Dualog Protect. Mature installations may process millions of DNS requests per day.

Investigating Events
Selecting any dashboard card opens a detailed view where operators can inspect the underlying events, including vessel name, blocked domain, IP address, timestamps and (when available) the client's MAC address.

Real-Time Malware detection
When a client contacts a known C2 domain, the dashboard updates within seconds. This enables operators to identify infected systems while they are actively communicating and quickly contact the vessel for remediation.

Typical Response Workflow

1. Monitor the dashboard for new alerts.
2. Open the relevant dashboard card.
3. Identify the affected vessel and client.
4. Contact the vessel with the client details.
5. Scan or isolate the affected device.
6. Continue monitoring until no further malicious traffic is observed.
