Anyone know of a decent program to log http traffic?
Can be office wide, but they are looking to monitor one specific employee.
Thanks.

theseman Member Posts: 230Another vote here for Websense. I evaluated.. BlueCoat? at one point and it seemed ok. But I stayed with WS and am still using it now.

Great Reporting tools. Much less expensive.

Megadeth4168 Member Posts: 2,157Heres another vote for Websense!
I have seen people use wireshark to capture then filter HTTP traffic.... -
Netstudent Member Posts: 1,693 ■■■□□□□□□□We use Websense as well...but a lot of times i will put wireshark on our internal DNS servers to see what translations are flying around. I set the filter for DNS only...it's a quick and dirty way.There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

Ahriakin Member Posts: 1,799 ■■■■■■■■□□We used Websense until recently but are now changing to a Barracuda Web Filter instead. Cheaper, integrated hardware unit so no extra server or OS licensing costs, and it adds a lot of anti-exploit and malware protection (incl. an active-x temporaroly-downloadable Spyware cleaner that can be set to automatically trigger when a client shows signs of infection). It can be placed transparently in front of your firewall or set as a std. proxy, though the former gives better protection and requires no extra configuration on your clients or firewall. All in all a very nice little unit and we've already had a very positive experience with their Spam firewall so I have a lot of faith in it.We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?

Im with you here Ahriakin, we have 3 boxes, 2 for email filtering and one for web filtering. Barracuda is an awesome solution.
Bluecoat web screening is also good, can be added to a juniper firewall screening function aswell....
