Hi Wayne,

You'll need to do some hands-on analysis to generate your ACLs.

It doesn't run on Windows, but Argus [0] can generate the session data
you need.

I call the type of analysis you need to perform a "Traffic Threat
Assessment" (TTA).  I usually do that sort of work to find malicious
insiders (or malware), but the same principles apply when identifying
legitimate traffic for creating ACLs.  I outline TTA in my latest
book, Extrusion Detection: Security Monitoring for Internal
Intrusions.  [1]

You may also find my Structured Traffic Analysis (STA) methodology
outlined in the October 2005 (IN)SECURE magazine to be helpful. [2]

Both the book and article explain how to use Argus in the manner you may need.

Sincerely,

Richard
