The new IMC ip logger

IMC'er | 03.03.2008 17:05 | Indymedia | Technology

There have been a lot of questions about the new IMC IP Logger both here via email and on other sites so here is the full details.

The new Indymedia iplog is a TCP/IP traffic logger. Currently, it is capable of logging TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic. iplog is able to detect TCP port scans, TCP null scans, FIN scans, UDP and ICMP "smurf" attacks, bogus TCP flags, TCP SYN scans, TCP "Xmas" scans, ICMP ping floods, UDP scans, and IP fragment attacks. iplog is able to run in promiscuous mode and monitor traffic to all hosts on a network. iplog uses libpcap to read data from the network and can be ported to any system that supports pthreads and on which libpcap will function.

We have installed this upgrade to the exisitng IP Log recorder to record who visits the site, how often they post and the types of things they post about. Please DO NOT use a proxy server to view, post or comment as this blocks the iplogger.

Thanks
