My 2 Cents: I have used a number of tools to do what it sounds like you are discussing. Of course you can use the packet sniffers, but I prefer the products that give you a "real view" of the telnet session on a screen. My personal favorite is T-Sight from Engarde Software which runs on NT, and allows for viewing, storing and playback in real-time, as well as session hijack, etc.. I have also used another product called Mimestar SecureNet Pro which does the same thing under Linux. I understand that "IP Watcher" from Engarde does the same thing as well under Linux. You can use sniffer products but they lack the real world view of the session, tho they are adequate for gathering passwords and other information, and great for covert remote installs (I prefer Sniffit). - mch Question: Does anyone know of a tool that will allow me to snoop on a live telnet session? I'd like to be able to run this on a firewall to see sessions as they pass through. Sort of like what ethereal does with "follow TCP Stream", but live. Thanks!
