I see what you mean, the problem is that our firewalls are routers, and these don't log the requests going out. So I'm kind of stumped on that. As for the few replies I got about a proxy, doesn't that create a considerable slowdown on the network?

Firewall records each outbound request and requestor. Simply sort by http request to www.whatever.com and take time/date/IP stamps. If no firewall, I'd think about one. You could implement smoothwall or some other open source firewall for little cost. Packet sniffing seems to be such overkill for this task. This seems to be the most efficient course.

They don't want to "spy" the client computers, more like installing a sniffer on the network just for them. Now, I know all about Snort, but I don't think this kind of tool would do the job. Would anyone know of some kind of "invisible" proxy that would just help me log all HTTP/FTP requests? Also, the tool musn't slow down the network considerably, since I've seen that happen before with a few different apps. And I'm open to solutions under Windows, Linux and BSD. Thanks! Stephane Auger
