IPAudit tracks network traffic by host, port, and protocol to monitor network activity.
IPAudit is an excellent software tool for monitoring network activity by host, protocol, and port. The software runs on promiscuous mode, recording every connection between two IP addresses. A unique connection is established based on the IP addresses of the two machines, the protocol they use for communication, and the port numbers employed in UDP or TCP communications.
IPAudit is a versatile software that can be used for a variety of purposes. It has been helpful in monitoring intrusion detection, bandwidth consumption, and denial-of-service attacks. To complement its features, IPAudit-Web can be installed to provide web-based network reports, resulting in more comprehensive monitoring.
The installation of IPAudit is incredibly user-friendly, where the "configure" shell script guesses correct values, depending on the system-dependent variables used during the compilation. The values utilized to create a "Makefile" in each directory of the package are also saved in "config.cache" to hasten reconfiguring. Likewise, the software's "config.status" script allows recreating the current configuration, and a "config.log" file, useful for debugging the compiler output.
If you encounter problems compiling the package, try to figure out how "configure" could check whether the appropriate installation is complete; you can also mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the README for them to be rectified in the next release.
To compile the package, you need to follow a few simple steps, as detailed in the software's documentation. After running the "configure" command, wait for the message telling which features are being checked for, then "make," "make check" for running self-tests, and "make install" after that. Finally, you can clean the source code directory by typing "make clean," "make distclean" to remove files created by "configure" and "make maintainer-clean" for advanced users.
