[squid-users] Content Filtering Solutions
I work in the security assessment field and currently utilize Websense for content monitoring. My license for websense will be up in a month and would like to replace it with an open source solution. Are there any open source solutions that will allow me to use a spanned (mirrored) port on a switch to monitor traffic, specifically web traffic and match that traffic against a blacklist, such as urlblacklist.com's list. I just want to monitor the traffic and be able to provide a report based on what users within an organization are looking at by passively sniffic the traffic on the spanned port. I know this isn't directly related to squid, but I would like to then recommend squid/dansguardian to be used for content filtering in some cases. Any ideas?

I'm not sure about an Open-source solution, but SurfControl (www.surfcontrol.com) is a great alternative product. We have done numerous Corporate installations of it, including some icap integrations with squid - although there is still continual development for this support.

Re: [squid-users] Content Filtering Solutions
Sorry for breaking into the thread, but I though that'd be related: Does anybody know of any good filtering solution (possibly to go along with squid) with capabilities to filter out not only based on content but also by type of request divided into classes. Something like: machine A has permission to do HEAD on sites B,C,D machine X has permission to request only application/rdf+xml content from sites Z,W,Y. Any pointers are deeply appreciated. -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245 pgpI3iTbgrqdA.pgp Description: PGP signature

DansGaurdian just might be a good fit Yeah, it looks like it might do the trick except that I haven't found detailed instructions on how to set it up with all things that I need... I guess I'll have to dig in sources. -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245 pgp5dCocFtvX6.pgp Description: PGP signature
