HackerTracker is a software for Windows 9x/NT/2K/XP that scans web server's log files to detect and capture hacker attacks. It identifies source IP addresses, collects attack signatures and performs buffer overflows, search engine scans and Excel importing.

To take advantage of this software, your web server's logs must adhere to the standard World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Extended Log file format. The software specifically processes those log entries that have a status of 4xx, 5xx, or UNK. The HTRK application includes a set of common attack signatures that can be added to during the examination of the log capture display section of the application. The HTRK application also contains an integrated database that maintains captured hacker IP Address, attack signatures, web site errors, and other filtering criteria.
Moreover, search engine scans and web site activity aggregations are done with the option of importing them into MS Excel spreadsheets that are generated automatically. The HTRK application can be used manually for log processing or operated automatically as a command script. For instance, the application can generate this as one of its utility tools, such as a scheduled task.
Lastly, the HackerTracker program can help in reducing the cost of Hacker's Insurance. Such companies as AIG, Chubb, ZFS, among others, offer this insurance. If you have this kind of insurance, you can contact your agent to see how HackerTracker can be applied to reduce your premium. In short, FutureWare HackerTracker is an excellent software that every web server owner should have to ensure the security of their web servers.
