Remember the squidalyser? It's a project I started in 2003 to monitor policy-infringing web accesses made via a squid proxy. You can use it to monitor keywords in URLs and graphics downloaded, with the option to produce meaningful graphs of web activity. The project was written in Perl and unfortunately hasn't been developed since early 2004.
Squidalyser has been rewritten and now has a fancy new web-two-point-oh name (Surftrackr) and uses the Django framework (www.djangoproject.com). There is a mostly-functional demo at surftrackr.net (slightly hobbled so nobody can break it). You can download a zip-file or tar-ball from the site. You'll also need to install Django and ensure your Apache has mod_python available. See the README file in the tar-ball. This is an initial "testing the water" release to see if it's worth continuing with development, so please let me have your feedback and ideas. I think Surftrackr is a more polished, efficient and better-looking program than squidalyser, but that's just my opinion. Ultimately, I'd hope to develop this to a very professional standard, if people are sufficiently interested. Note that the demo site is running on my slightly feeble home server, so please be patient if it starts to buckle under the strain :) Some queries to the DB are a bit intensive at the moment, but I'll be working to improve performance. Please let me know if you have any *constructive* comments or suggestions for improvements. -- Simon Burns
