You might want to look at the Squid proxy and the log analyzer Sarg. http://www.squid-cache.org/ http://sarg.sourceforge.net/sarg.php If you look at the sample report on the Sarg site, you might notice the graph and clock icons between the num and userid fields. This will show you a few stats about the user including what times the user was on the Internet and how much bandwidth was consumed. There seems to be a ton of log analyzers for Squid so if Sarg doesn't seem to fit the bill, look at the Logfile Analysis link on the Squid site. This will require a Linux box and you'll also want to force everyone to go through your proxy and deny ports 80 and 443 on your firewall except to your proxy server. If you run Active Directory, changing everyone's Internet Explorer connection settings is very simple. -chris On 23 Dec 2005 16:49:48 -0000, invstg8r () hotmail com <invstg8r () hotmail com> wrote:
A member of management has asked me to research available programs to log internet usage (web surfing) on our corporate network. We are running a Windows server with a mix of XP and 2K clients. What have some of you used to provide this in a report that management can use to show that a user is spending too much time on the internet? I don't have a Linux box up and running, but if the right Linux based app is suggested, I would consider going that route. Thanks in advance. - Mark A. P.S. Please try and keep this on topic, I've seen questions lke this before degrade into a privacy violation, "big brother" type of debate. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience.
