RE: ISA 2004

Hi Keith,

Just a note beforehand .... is the web server that you have installed on your machine public facing ? If so you'r 
really pushing your luck by installing it on there, and should be moved to another server. By running it on there you 
are creating more holes, which if exploited gives an attacker access to your firewall.

To answer your other question about log analysis, you should have a look at ethereal (for windows) or windump (win 
version of tcpdump). These tools will allow you to capture all traffic coming in and out your server. You can then use 
filters to extract exactly what you are looking for.

Cheers
Mark

Dear all,

 

I think this mailing list is great, only been on here for a week but have
gathered a lot of information, I guess this is my turn now.  Recently we
have installed ISA 2004 as our Web, Firewall and VPN server already we have
had loads of problems with it, but I was wondering if there is some log
analyzers that could pull the outbound and inbound traffic so I can actually
see what is going through, getting blocked etc..

 

I would also welcome any comments you have on ISA 2004.

 

Kind Regards
