kwanbis Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Hi. I want to monitor what the users are doing on a LAN.Mostly, i want to make sure they are not downloading movies/music/etc. What tools and how should i do it?NOTE: if you think there is a better forum for LAN issues, please let me know. Thanks.
uid0 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 You could try squid and dansguardian.Wont run on windows though.
kwanbis Posted September 6, 2007 Author Posted September 6, 2007 both are "proxy" like. I don't want to put anything in between. I want to "listen" to the nw. I was thinking wireshark (ethereal)
Arie Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 both are "proxy" like. I don't want to put anything in between. I want to "listen" to the nw. I was thinking wireshark (ethereal)Possible, but it will give you a lot of work to figure all the traffic out. You could start by proper filtering, then perhaps exporting the whole dump and do a search on that. But like I wrote, it will give you a lot of work, even if you would only do this occasionally. Stripping down your whole dump could be best done using some sort of script, but writing a proper script will also take plenty of time. Anyway, best would be still to put a proxy in between for instance.

nitroshift Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 How is your network configured? P2P, domain? I use Wireshark on the DC and filters It is doing its job nicely
arctirus Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I use WiresharkI'd encourage you to check out the ntop link I posted. Ntop is basically a nice html front end report system that runs on top of ethereal / wireshark. It makes things so much easier, oh, and it's free.
