Re: Capture Email Content / Website Activity

[<barryab63-ia () yahoo com>]

In order to see everything on the network, you need to have one of the following:
   
  1.  A true hub.  But, you'll only see traffic that passes through the hub.
  2.  A switch that will let you configure a monitor port, have the port your snort box is connected to configured to 
monitor all the other ports.  How you do this depends on the switch.
  3.  Use a network tap.  Place the tap were it will pickup the traffic you want to see, possibly between your firewall 
and inside router/switch, that way you would see everything in and out of your network.
  4.  Run snort in in-line mode, place the snort box in a location similar to the network tap.
   
  You would really need to give more information on your network to get a more detailed answer.

  As to detecting web activity, snort does have some rules for detect web traffic.  But, it sound from you question 
that it might be better to try to get this info from you Firewall logs.  Snort isn't really a very good web usage 
monitoring tool.

  I am new to snort and am starting to test things out. I am able to capture 
email content from the machine running snort, but I would also like to 
capture email being sent on the entire network. Is there a way to do this?

Also is there a way to capture visited websites for the entire network to a 
file stating date, time, url, ipaddress?

Thank you very much.
