Niksun is an excellent appliance, although Narus is also worth a
look. Narus is what was deployed by the NSA at AT&T that caused all
that fuss ;)

Have you looked at NetVCR by Niksun. It is a network appliance that
captures all network traffic. from a span port on a switch. You can
rebuild E-Mails, webpages, etc. If the traffic crosses the wire this
box captures it. Depending on the drive space you can capture days
worth of traffic.

Hi everyone,
In my job we have to investigate people on our network for various
reasons.
Increasingly I am finding I need some sort of tool to help me out.
Preferably something that I can run on a server, point at a client or
a user account and have it monitor that user/machine activity over a
period of time.
The best tool would have these sorts of features:-
Audit log - everything the user does (shared drives, applications,
web
sites visited)
Data copy - copy data from the machine, including from pen drives
(automatically would be nice)
Offline logging - ability to log what the user does with the machine
when its off the network
Alerting system - alert me when the user does something defined in
a rule
Has anyone come across a tool that does any of these things?
I guess the best solution would be to write something in house, as it
would almost never get picked up by Anti Virus scanners, but
obviously
that's a lot of effort.
Any pointers appreciated, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Colin.
