<harlan & jayson on where to look for post-mortem packet traces>

Lacking full network packet logs, one thing I did during this one was
look at flow data from our network infrastructure. 

<disclaimer>my flowdata knowledge is limited</disclaimer>

This can be misleading, however because internal flow data will capture
the outgoing attack packets that may get blocked later by a firewall.
There also doesn't seem to be a one to one correspondence between the
flow and what the firewall blocked outgoing. (i.e., the firewall
records more blocks than the flow data shows ). 

Does someone with more flow-data/flow-tools experience know why this
may be so? 

Jeff.
