Sharing network bandwidth is significantly increased and grouped into many networking communities. However, those good intentions of sharing the network bandwidth might attract the attention of intelligentsia and hackers to access personal or enterprisepsilas confidential information. In order to provide more convenient utilization of networking and achieve the goals of resources sharing and protecting private information simultaneously, some protection strategies are proposed in this paper. Firstly, the networkpsilas security checking criteria based on behavior analysis of crackerspsila attacking and packet analysis have been applied for detecting and reporting the changes and events as if there is any failure of networking equipment or any problem occurred in real time. Secondly, software development for automatically checking, analyzing, and identifying the configurations of devices and finding out the kernel cause of security events of network system is a must. Thirdly, the anti-sniffing software and firewall must be updated to enhance its robustness against the attacking. Finally, encrypting software that combines the website system to achieve encryption and authentication simultaneously had better be applied. After then, a satisfied secure communication environment is established.
