Hi there there is a basic but powerful tools for your purpose, tcpdump in Linux or windump in Windows Environment. It could capture all or customized traffic that you want to grab. and it could be redirected the output to files as text files. unfortunately, the output is not CSV (Comma Separated Value), so it's gonna be little bit tricky to put it into database. well it's good tools though... :)) more details: http://windump.polito.it/default.htm
There is more advanced tools and can be used as network instruction dedetection as well, called Snort (maybe you heard of it). It's free at http://www,snort.org It does capturing the traffic in log files in CSV format, so later if you wanna use it, just open it in Microsoft Excelor other spreadsheet programs, it will adjust the view neatly.

I want to record all the packets including its data. I prefer logging it to a database, though files are welcomed too. (thats assuming I can later insert'em to a database). Anyone can recommend a good product ? (commercial and non-commercial are both welcomed) thank you. -- avi koren [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow
