Hi Hristiyan, if you mean to log ALL the packets passing through your routers/firewalls, then you need a very good software to search and correlate the traffic. I suggest to make some research about "Deep Packet Inspection", especially because anonymizing software (TOR) are using strong encryption. Or if you need to log packets that match certain rules you can go with a snort box installed on a spanned switch port (this depends on your network load). Snort have a set of rules called "sensitive data rules", or you can write you own rules according to your needs. Before starting any kind of action, I strongly advise to calculate the size of the data logged, and the machine power that you need to perform search and correlation. In the meantime my best regards, Phillip On 06/22/2010 11:12 AM, Hristiyan Lazarov wrote:
Hello, I'm new to this mail list so lets first introduce myself - my name is Hristiyan Lazarov and I'm currently working as an Enterprise Security Specialist for a UK based company. I'm looking to implement in our organisation *NIX based network sniffer. Basically, I want to trace and record every single packet that is coming to, or going out from my network. We are working with sensitive information, that's why my employer want me to record the traffic at least 1 month back. We have a proxy which is dealing with our HTTP traffic but some people are playing smart trying to use some anonymizers to access restricted websites. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
