Re: Running TCPDUMP over a web interface

Hi Tek,

I actually wrote something like you're describing years ago for a 2nd-level support team so they could help 
troubleshoot issues (kept me from getting calls :). It's a distributed sniffer of sorts; it sends tcpdump capture 
filters to remote sniffers via ssh, which are then executed remotely and the captures are sent back to the web server 
for display in the browser. The CGI app uses tshark to send the summary line (text) to the browser. It does some basic 
syntax highlighting in html based on the protocol.

Someone else might as well use it, so send me an email if you think you'd like to try it. It's running on Linux via 
Apache via CGI.

I always thought I should have started a project for it via SourceForge or something.
