Track and record all tty sessions with this software. Maintain a log of user activity and monitor system usage. Increase security and accountability with detailed session records.
I recently tried out ttylog, a Perl utility that offers a range of features for attaching to and monitoring tty sessions. This tool is perfect for anyone who needs to observe or assist with shell sessions, track bandwidth, or perform logging for debugging or training purposes.
One of the standout features of ttylog is that it doesn't require any modifications to the kernel or system configuration. This makes it much easier to use than alternative tty sniffers, which can be time-consuming and complicated to set up.
Another benefit is that you can even install ttylog after someone has already logged in. This means you can connect on the fly and instantly view their session, even if it has been running for a long time.
To use ttylog, you simply need to enter the correct SYNOPSIS. For example, you could enter "ttylog tty" to attach to the currently running tty session, or "ttylog -t tty [ -w file ]" to start monitoring without changing the existing session.
One particularly useful feature is the ability to track bandwidth usage. This is great for anyone who needs to monitor network activity and keep an eye on potential security threats.
Overall, I was very impressed with ttylog's capabilities and ease of use. Whether you're a system administrator, network engineer, or just someone who needs to keep tabs on their own sessions, this tool is definitely worth checking out!
