Deep dives
Efficient Data Storage in SQL Databases
Efficiently storing data collected from honeypots in SQL databases is crucial for creating useful dashboards and analyzing cybersecurity threats. The discussion highlights the importance of using unsigned integers for storing IP addresses, as this method simplifies subnetting and enhances data sorting. The speaker reflects on past mistakes from 25 years ago when a workaround involved storing IP addresses in string format, leading to inefficiencies. This experience underscores the need for thoughtful data management practices to optimize log data storage across various database systems.
