Re: Linux or Unix distribution for network sniffing

[Bitu <mrbitu () googlemail com>]

The best way is to get a software like websense cause they come with rules which knw which to block and not to 
block..... 


If u want to restrict users from bandwidth utilisation packet sniffing and blocking websites, p2ps is too tedious also 
every other day numerous annonimisers pop up. 


There are number of things you can do as suggested by many ppl in the chain.   You an also first check over few days 
who utilises the max bandwidth and then place a sniffer and work things out
