The software IPTables log analyzer converts Linux 2.4 iptables logs into a visually pleasing HTML page.
What's more, it supports rough netfilter logs, Shorewall, and Suse Firewall logs, giving you more flexibility and compatibility options. The HTML page contains statistics on packets and links to more detailed information such as host, port, domain, and more.
To get a better understanding of how it works, you can take a look at a typical syslog entry for iptables like this - [IPTABLES DROP] : IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=172.186.2.157 DST=193.253.186.217 LEN=36 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=115 ID=4775 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=512 SEQ=3663.
The software uses a small daemon launched by a user to read iptables log files. Each time a new packet is logged, the daemon inserts a new row in the database. The PHP page itself elaborates on the statistics and other information.
Overall, IPTables log analyzer is an efficient and user-friendly tool that can help you gain valuable insights from iptables logs.
