From what I have seen from the initial pages, I like the etheral product. Unless I read it wrong the snifferpro was big, big bucks..
Let's not go there when your boss is an accountant.. ha,ha

ethereal is good, its free and cross platform: http://www.ethereal.com/
i got this info from a friend of mine who says
"Usually i just use tcpdump to capture and if i need to look for content i use ethereal to put it back together and "follow the tcp stream". You can read back emails, AIM, tftp tranfsers to your routers, telnet sessions, anything"

Hej alla as we say in Swedish This is a good topic. I have just opened 2 VPN's. But realy I do not have a clue how secure they are, I just rely on Symantec (200firewall/Appliance) in this case. I am the one that don't know and I am only the programming and networkpersonal besides doing some business consulting so advise on the topic is welcomed! I will follow this tread Gunnar Ekblad

G-Day all
For those who play dual roles with programming and networking, those who can ask network personel, or those who just know...
Can anybody reccomend a good software package to monitor - sniff network packets that does logging, and of course as many other features for the least cost. We are about to be opening up our companies through VPNS, and maybe other methods somewhere down the road and really need to look more into the security learning curve.
Any good advice also weclome Jim Limburg
